The Word Peace Mural Tour is an “endless tour” – Renda Writer’s life’s purpose. It started with the first mural, on April 23rd, 2016 at Georgia-Jones Ayers Middle School in the Allapattah neighborhood of Miami. “I will do the World Peace Mural Tour for the rest of my life,” said the artist. The tour was inspired by the song, “World Peace” by KRS-One, and was motivated by the Gandhi quote, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”

​The tour is aligned with the idea of “writing things into existence” and presents a way of using the power of words and the medium of public art to spark conversations and effect change. The artist documents and details all of his murals and work on the tour’s website. The tour is powered by gratitude, being grateful is what keeps Writer going, which is why he has a “gratitude” section on the tour’s official website: www.worldpeacemuraltour.com

With an intimate understanding of The Law of Attraction, Renda enjoys every new day of navigating through the universe as a creator and as a grateful being. He enjoys collaborating with other motivated individuals, through art, poetry, and through business partnerships. His experience in creating the “Handwritten Mural” genre began in October of 2014, when he started work on a project at N’Namdi Contemporary art gallert in the heart of the Wynwood Arts District in Miami, Florida.

He set out on the task of using only simple white paint marker to write a simple 2-sentence mantra over and over on the 30′ x 30′ exterior blue wall of the famed art gallery. That mantra is “Love is a risk. Do it anyway.” and it was written approximately 500,000 times across the entire expanse of the wall, taking the artist about 350 hours of labor, over the course of six weeks.

The mural was completed on December 3rd, 2014 just in time for Art Basel Miami Beach, placing Writer in front of thousands of international art fans, making him one of the most widely talked about mural artists in Wynwood.

As a poet, Renda Writer has been writing, recording, and performing poetry since 2000. He got his start as a poet while living in New York City, working on the streets as a comedy club promoter. Standing on the Manhattan street corners, approaching hundreds of people a day, Renda felt inspired by the movement of the city and the energy of the people. The short conversations and interactions ignited a passion inside of him and he soon found himself jotting down ideas in notebooks while standing on the street corners, in between comedy promotion pitches during the day, and then reciting what he had written by night, at poetry landmark venues such as The Nu-Yorican Poets Café and The Bowery Poetry Club. From there, he went on to perform at the world famous Apollo Theatre in Harlem and was also featured at several poetry slams, open mic nights, and talent showcases throughout New York City.

In 2004, Renda moved from NYC to South Florida, and began hitting the performance circuit hard, performing at events all throughout Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties. In 2007 he earned the distinction of being named the Delray Beach Grand Slam Champion and earned a spot on the city’s traveling slam poetry team, where he competed at the National Poetry Slam in Austin Texas.

As he began hosting his own events, this became another way for him to perform, and he soon became a local celebrity in South Florida for his poetry, events and of course his world famous handwritten murals. Common themes in Renda’s poetry include movement, birds, positivity, The Law of Attraction, writing, goals, dreams, struggle, and just about anything else that moves Renda to write.
