What Arthur Hall does may be called dance,
but it is also a kind of culture-making
rarely seen and sorely needed.

Whatever this collection will be,
it will serve to show those young people
coming through just the kind of heritage
they have before them.

Detail of the mural "Obatala and the Tree Spirit" designed by Lily Yeh,
one of several murals that are part of Ile Ife Park maintained by the
Village of the Arts and Humanities on Germantown Avenue in Philadelphia PA.
The central figure is Arthur Hall, from the photograph above.
The figure on the left is from Obatala, Arthur Hall's signature dance.
The "Tree Spirit" at right is a recreation from a previous mural by Barbara Bullock,
who taught fine arts at the original Ile Ife Center for the Arts and Humanities.
The previous mural was on a wall that collapsed.
