Headdress 75 is a large-scale public mural by .metaferia , unveiled in Newark in November 2025 as part of her By Way of Revolution series. It features Newark activist Nashel Brantley, portrayed as a symbol of collective memory and resistance. The mural’s “headdress” is a layered collage combining archival imagery from historic movements with personal and cultural materials, bridging past struggles with present-day identity. Originally a hand-cut mixed media piece, it was scaled into a multi-story installation using parachute cloth and painted elements. More than a portrait, it acts as a civic monument that honors everyday activists—especially Black and Brown women—as carriers of history and drivers of social change.
