It was painted by a team of local artists trained through the Community Mural Institute, with the help of more than 100 Gerena families and neighbors. This mural was painted using the GoodSpace Murals method of community-engaged mural making. Learn more about GoodSpace Murals here
With 20 years of mural making experience, Greta uses muralism to explore the ways that art can bring communities together, the power of visual language to activate voice, and the potential of art as a vehicle for hands-on organizing and educating. She has created over 60 murals in and around Minnesota, Tennessee, Ohio, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Cuba, Argentina, Mexico, and France. Greta lives in Guanajuato, MX but runs GSM out of Minneapolis, MN, and travels around the country/world muraling and teaching wherever community art can be activated as a tool for positive community engagement.
