Project Description
Inspired by the multicultural nature of Corona, this mural focuses on youth unity and how it might contribute to the future development of Corona. The team was particularly interested in how empowered youth can assist in shaping today’s cultural landscapes for the better. With a strong emphasis on the many cultures that make up the neighborhood, the mural celebrates the contributions Corona’s diversity has made to the history of the community. Depicted in the mural are important landmarks such as the Flushing Meadows Park Unisphere as well as representations of Mexican, Tibetan, Moroccan, and Bengali populations that make up a large part of the neighborhood.
