Peace Is Not A Dream In Storage

Project Description

In a collaboration between Groundswell Community Mural Project and the Center for Anti Violence Education (CAE), a diverse group of nine young women worked together to create a mural around the theme of anti-violence, with a special focus on anti-violence against women. The project created an opportunity to learn on a number of fronts. Among these included: how to express an idea visually, how to accept, tolerate and collaborate with people whose ideas differ from your own, pride in oneself and others, patience, the complexity of public art and interpretation, the importance of listening and a deeper connection with the group. In addition, project “gliches” became opportunities to learn.
