Erbriyon Barrett has been involved in artistic social and cultural awareness in Atlanta and the BLM movement through his community-based and public artworks. Barrett goes by the name Cloud Cruiser. His public art murals can be seen throughout Atlanta and several cities in North and South Carolina. His murals are on the official art tour of Atlanta Art Murals in the city. Barrett has been showcased in two Atlanta Art Basel events in 2018 and 2019. His photography was showcased during the BLM protest in 2020. One of these images will be featured on the cover of Tyrese Gibson vinyl release of Legendary ft. CeeLo Green.
