It’s Still Our City | Ep. 16 Mickael Broth aka The Night Owl

by | Nov 6, 2025 | COMMUNITY, CULTURE, MAGAZINES & BOOKS, PODCASTS, STREET ART

“Mickael Broth is an artist, muralist, sculptor, writer, father, husband, skateboarder, and climber, quite the talented bloke.

He’s created hundreds of public works of art across the country and around the world. A recipient of the VMFA Professional Fellowship, his work has been commissioned by hundreds of clients. The man stays busy, and I know everyone here felt the Bern.

He’s also the author of several books, including Gated Community: Graffiti and Incarceration and Murals of Richmond, which is now in its third printing. Not too shabby, bruh.

Join us as we discuss alcohol sponges, potentially ruining original Warhol paintings, the PIPELINE STILL BEING CLOSED, and Richmond’s supposed highest priority at the moment.” — host, Harrison Christy
