On the wall

A FIRST STEP TO ENDING STREET HARASSMENT

 

Categories: Video

This week THIRTEEN released the final video of their web series about Groundswell's anti-catcalling mural "Respect is the Strongest Compliment." In this installment, the young women who worked on the mural reflect on the impact of the project on their lives and their vision for their futures.
 
Danielle McDonald, lead artist for the mural, contributes her observations about the power of public art in an online Q&A about the collaboration, also on THIRTEEN's website:
 
Murals disrupt our ordinary visual experience, and touch those who are captured by it in a means that only experiencing a large painting can. It makes people feel something. It makes them stop, talk, and reflect on issues from the perspectives often marginalized in society.

And, of course, we hope you will share the final video and comment on social media with the hashtag #groundswellnyc.
