Youth Empowerment Arts Collective "Free The Future" mural on the 91 South Underpass adjacent to the Norwottuck Rail Trail bike path, near Damon Road and the CT River Greenway State Park.
The world motifs on either side of the main figure are my artistic contribution to the mural production. As a founding member of the YEA Collective, I also contributed through securing a New England Foundation for the Arts Public Art for Spatial Justice grant, as well as designing workshops for the youth from The Invincible Project.
Other collective members include: Emilia Ditkoff, Mari Champagne, Victoria Mancheno - Director of The Invincible Project, Lana Rose, Aaron Richardson, Julian Gabelus, Nora Gilchrist, Isis Badone and Jessica Daury.
