Arts and the Healing of Identity - Murals

Murals challenge the effects of political and economic disenfranchisement. They express different aspects of the communities' vision of themselves. Murals represent the many faces of the Diaspora, along with the awareness of origins and the places where people find themselves now. They illustrate actualities and possibilities.
