RECREATING HISTORIC MURALS
Restoring historic murals honors the voices of the past and redresses past acts of cultural erasure. By carefully recreating lost or damaged murals, we restore valuable cultural heritage and ensure these stories remain a visible part of public history. These projects can also include training for local artists in community-engaged mural making, equipping them with skills to restore other historical works and create their own works of public art.
