Timeline

1700

Mays's murals include the "BEACON" series, which is based on a quote by Maya Angelou: “If one is lucky, a solitary fantasy can totally transform one million realities.” This series consists of murals in Oakland at 23rd Avenue and 24th Street, 829 Vermont St., West Oakland, and 1700 Broadway.

The piece at 1700 Broadway is called Beacon Frequency Reader and is one of the city's largest murals.

Its subject is a girl with a staff, who is surrounded by birds.

Mays is quoted as says the girl is a "gatekeeper to a fantastical realm."

The mural's installation was arranged by curator Sorell Raino-Tsui, who negotiated the installations of other large murals in Oakland's Uptown neighborhood.

Joshua Mays and King Britt, working with Mural Arts Philadelphia, created an "augmented reality mural" at 5300 Lansdowne Ave in 2018.

The piece, Dreams, Diaspora and Destiny, included a mural by Mays and Mural Arts Philadelphia, music by Britt, and a mobile app for viewers.

Other locations where he has painted murals include Johannesburg, Mexico City and Jakarta.
