And how that mural project morphed from a visual illusion into a bridge between worlds.And finally, when a forgotten commitment led to the mural's loss, how a community's response became a powerful act of healing and recovery. This show is all about how art can heal, unite, and even kickstart conversations that matter. Plus, we’ll chat about a little hiccup in the project’s journey, when the mural faced some serious neglect, and how the community rallied to give it a second chance. Get ready, because this isn’t just art – it’s a testament to the power of collaboration and creativity!
