901 Now: Memphis artist uses QR codes to spread art around town
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - A Memphis artist is taking his designs to the streets.
Using just a QR code and sidewalks, he is sharing stories of the African experience in America.
“Being vulnerable, being ashamed, being afraid. I wanted people to have all of those emotions,” said artist Ephraim Urevbu.
One hundred and fifty pieces of artwork are telling both local and global untold stories — stories that artist Urevbu said are not easy to tell.
