Josiah O’Balles, is a Afro Chicano multi disciplinary artist, advocate and story teller from Los Angeles CA. His artwork is informed and inspired by the heroes and beauties born from struggle within the working class BIPOC community, the motion of music, and his interest in his own personal lineage and history. He seeks to utilize his art to aid, amplify, and progress the causes and stories of his community, and in return hopefully learn more about himself in the process.
