I Am Resilient mural (2) Mural Art
About this mural:
Painted in Port Au Prince, Haiti. I was invited to mentor young women for an art program in Haiti centered around female empowerment. I facilitated art workshops like wheatpaste, stenciling and mural painting. I taught the women how to use spray paint and learn different techniques. From there they helped me to paint the mural pictured above. I wanted to create something that young women can see and feel empowered by.
