This is our second time visiting and such incredible murals with a new group of young men, and each time, the youth have shared such thoughtful insights about how it moves them. It’s truly inspiring to see these young men connect with a piece of art and express the feelings and reflections it sparks within them.
When asked, “If you could paint a mural, what would you paint?” their answers were powerful:
• One said, “My city, because it has given me so much and shaped who I am.” 🏙️
• Another said, “I would paint myself.” 💫
• And another shared, “I would paint a portrait to show the anger I have inside.” 🎭
• Another stated “I would display all the emotions I feel on a piece of chart.”
Art has a way of speaking when words sometimes fall short, and witnessing their perspectives reminds us of the power of creative expression and the strength it takes to share your truth. 💭❤️
Thanks to the amazing artist who created murals here. each time our youth says your mural “reminds them of being with there people it feels familiar”
