Art as a Form of Resistance Mural Event

Local Artist Thomasina TopBear works on a mural.

Local Artist Thomasina Top Bear is going to create a 5’x5’ community-engaged polytab mural in our very own Peters Hall! 

 

This design will be created by Top Bear using the themes Equity, Community of Belonging, Integrity, Well-Being and Balance, Growth and Learning, Inclusivity and Innovation. 

 

How can I participate?

Next Wednesday, 25 members of the SSW community will each color a piece of a mural that will be in the hallway in Peters Hall. 

Each participant will receive a 1’x1’ polytab square of the mural to paint with written instructions and assistance from the artist to guide everyone through the process. Thomasina Top Bear will then assemble the individual pieces like a puzzle and do small touch-ups to create a larger mural.

Please note: we have no more space available for participants!!  However, we enthusiastically encourage all members of the SSW to stop by the Peters Hall atrium to witness the construction of our mural. Please be mindful of the painting in process, and pass through the space carefully. If you need assistance, there will be staff members on hand to help you.

Where: Peters Hall Atrium

When: 2:45 pm - 5 pm
