This workshop will focus on the importance of art in public spaces and give participants the tools to transform any wall into a mural! During the week, we’ll take a mural tour of Kingston, where we’ll discuss muralism, street art, and the history of graffiti. Working together as a team, we’ll create a one-of-a-kind mural that will be displayed for the entirety of the summer at WSW. Participants will leave with a full understanding of how to create large scale art that will last on walls for years to come.
Artist
Symone Salib
Symone Salib is a first-generation Cuban/Egyptian muralist, illustrator, and educator whose art centers on the storytelling of community members through large-scale public installations. Strongly rooted in portraiture, her work envisions a world of radical possibilities where equality and justice are at the center. By focusing on the voices and faces of marginalized communities, Symone uses her art to uplift and amplify those who are often overlooked. Her community-based practice reflects her belief that art should be accessible to all. By creating work in public spaces, she ensures that everyone, regardless of background, can engage with and experience art. She believes public art is not just about beautifying a space; it’s about providing visibility and recognition to the people who make up the fabric of the community.
