Come and celebrate the completion of this inspirational Summer Leadership Institute 2015 mural. This dedication honors the culmination of all the research, work, thoughtfulness, and activism of this team of young artist activists. Hear their stories, and amplify their voices!
 
This summer, on the side of a Food Bazaar Supermarket in Bedford-Stuyvesant, a team of young women artists will create a mural addressing gender-based violence and the culture that perpetuates it. By creating truthful representations of violence experienced by women, they use art as a tool for inspiration and agency, act as change agents for violence prevention, and make their voices heard.
 
This project is made possible with public funds from the New York City Council through its STARS Citywide Girls Initiative.
