Created with 11 other murals for the 2026 World Cup Activation Events, “Planet Brooklyn” imagines the park as a joyful meeting place where the many cultures of Ocean Hill and Broadway Junction coexist. A rainbow travels through the composition, connecting the characters and representing peace, while skyscrapers and the Brooklyn Bridge establish a distinctly Brooklyn setting. The mural draws inspiration from the neighborhood’s many cultures, foods, sounds and people, creating a portrait of Broadway Junction as a place where communities converge. Play is woven throughout the scene, with figures enjoying moments of connection and a group of playful squirrels adding humor and personality. The words “Spread Love” reinforce the mural’s central message: that parks can be places where people feel seen and free to be themselves. Diversity, inclusion and equality are central to the vision of “Planet Brooklyn.”
