Remember Me is a community-centered art installation and reporting project that honors the lives of victims of unsolved homicides in St. Louis.
The work features six original portraits by local artist Cbabi Bayoc, inspired by a years-long investigation by St. Louis Public Radio, APM Reports and The Marshall Project into the more than 1,000 unsolved homicides in the city over the last decade.
Bayoc’s vivid illustrations depict each person as their families remember them: full of life, love and possibility.
The portraits will be on view in the CURIOSITY Building from Monday, Aug. 11, 2025, until Friday, Sept. 12, 2025. Please contact Vanessa Rudloff at vanessa@stl.org to arrange a viewing.

CBABI (PRONOUNCED KUH-BOB-BI) BAYOC
is an internationally-known visual artist and illustrator residing in St. Louis, Missouri. His subjects include family, children, music and a bunch of other cool stuff designed with line, bold color and phunk!
Bayoc, whose birth name is Clifford Miskell, Jr., adopted his name CBABI (Creative-Black-Artist-Battling- Ignorance) during his time at Grambling State University (‘92-‘95). In 1997, a legal name change took place at the time of his marriage. Later, Cbabi would change his last name to BAYOC (Blesed-African-Youth-Of-Creativity) as something that could be shared with his future children.
After working as a caricature artist at Six Flags over St. Louis, Cbabi pursued a career as an illustrator. His first notable client was Rap Pages magazine. During the entire year of 1998 he was given the RPM section on a monthly basis to display a caricature of the featured artist. Through that exposure, he was contacted by Violator Management to create the artwork for the cover of the Violator Compilation, Vol.1 album, featuring the likenesses of Busta Rhymes, Missy Elliott, Foxy Brown, Q-Tip, LL Cool J, Mobb Deep, Fat Joe and Big Pun.
