New Mural Alert! Symone Salib @symonesalibstudio j New Mural Alert! Symone Salib @symonesalibstudio joined us last month to teach a Summer Art Institute workshop about the power of public art AND create this beautiful new mural, “Nothing Grows Alone,” which reads “May we refuse to separate our gratitude for food from justice for those who grow it.” Below is a statement from Symone about her inspiration for the piece.

“This mural is both a prayer and a protest. A hand reaches into a tree to pick an apricot, an act that feels simple but is sacred. Although this mural intentionally draws you in with its bright and warm colors, beneath the imagery lies a deeper meaning to remember who feeds us and at what cost. 
I created this work in honor of the workers, workers who are Black and brown, workers who are immigrants. Whose hands grow, pick, and prepare the food that sustains us. Many of them live under constant threat as ICE continues to tear families apart and target the folks whose labor makes our lives easier. We cannot separate our gratitude for abundance from the ongoing violence waged against those who provide it.
This mural is a space to honor those who grow our food, not only for their physical labor but for how they feed us with knowledge, stories, and culture. Food is never just sustenance, it’s memory, tradition, resistance, and love. To be in community is to be fed in all of these ways.
The green border that frames the mural is a metaphor for growth and possibility. Symbolic of the dream for a better life that so many immigrants long for. It represents my hope for a world where the immigration system isn’t broken and all people have the right to seek asylum safely. It should not be radical to believe that all people deserve safety, dignity, and the right to a better life. That includes Black and brown families. That includes children, adults and the elders who make up the fabric of our communities.
“Nothing Grows Alone” is a reminder that our liberation is interconnected. That food, culture, and justice are intertwined. This mural holds space for gratitude, for those who feed us not just with food, but with culture, history, and care. Because nothing grows alone. Not fruit. Not people. Not justice.”
