Description: This mural pays homage to the renowned actor Heath Ledger, featuring his iconic Joker character, skillfully depicted on the façade of the Red Cinemas. Stretching 34 feet in height and spanning 26 feet across, this vibrant artwork commands attention. In the upper right corner, an Indian script calligraphy adorns the composition, bearing the title of a classic Bollywood film from the 1960s: "My Name is Joker." This very phrase also serves as the mural's title, further emphasizing its connection to the silver screen. This creation stands as a dual tribute, honoring not only Heath Ledger's portrayal but also the Bollywood actor Raj Kapoor, who brought the Joker character to life in the Hindi movie rendition. This incorporation of Indian cultural influences reflects the artist's deep-seated connection to their roots, language, and adoration for Bollywood. Raman Bhardwaj, an accomplished South Asian illustrator, muralist, and painter based in Greensboro, NC, brings this captivating mural to life with his artistry.
