Join us for a unique experience where we take you on a journey through recent history. 2020 has been a difficult year for all but Seattle’s community has really demonstrated its resilience and its support for those who have been deeply affected by COVID and for the Black Lives Matter movement. The beautiful murals that sprinkle the city are proof of this.
SDF, in partnership with Kathleen Warren from Overall Creative, MoPOP, and Seth Geiser from Downtown Seattle Association, has worked to create a series of programs to amplify the work of the muralists that have responded to 2020. These programs include 1) a panel, to explore the process of creation, the impact on the community, and steps to preserve these murals 2) projections of select murals on MoPOP’s exterior LED screens.
This panel will explore the design process, community impact, and future of the murals around the city. Hear from some of Seattle’s best artists and their stories about the murals that have gone up during the pandemic and the BLM movement.
Muralists Include:
Kalee
Patrick+Dozfy
Zaeos+The Math Crew
Barry Johnson
Mari Shibuya
