Jetsonorama and the Healing Power of Art

Physician and street artist Chip Thomas, who has lived on the Navajo Nation for three decades shares the stories of his indigenous neighbors with large scale murals in cities from Oakland, California, to Phoenix, Arizona. This story was produced by KQED Arts in San Francisco. “The question I’m asked most frequently is how a black doctor in his 50s working on the Navajo reservation started doing street art on said reservation. In retrospect, it was only natural for this evolution to occur.”
