Community Mural Project: Casa Esperanza in Roxbury
July/August 2010
The MEM Project worked with Casa Esperanza in Roxbury for its inaugural mural project to paint a large public community mural. We invited volunteers from the nearby JP Jewish community to help paint alongside Casa Esperanza clients in recovery from substance addiction in the Latino Community. Both groups had separately brainstormed themes of hope ("Tikvah"/"Esperanza") and incorporated elements of that visual exploration into the mural design.
Find out more about the project by clicking here. A Jewish Art Workshop took place on July 13 and and our Community Painting Day took place on July 21. A slideshow of the mural process can be seen below. Plus - now you can watch a video of the mural process!
This program was supported in part by a Young Adult Community Grant from Combined Jewish Philanthropies.
