Harambee Teens Take Action with Neighborhood Mural

Building on the Harambee History presentation by Reuben Harpole back in May, 6 youth will spend their summer researching, designing and constructing a portable mural about the history and culture of the Harambee neighborhood. Local artists Reynaldo and Rozalia Hernandez are coordinating the teens' work. Young people were recruited by active residents from Cluster 2 for six weeks of employment on the project, starting July 9.

If you'd like to stop in and see our aspiring artists at work (and give them your encouragement) on the mural project (they are working every morning), please give Chris Grandt from Riverworks a call at 414.906.9650. The Arts & Culture work group will need to plan a grand unveiling for the mural for late August. Please contact Kathryn Berger (ph. 414.273.1815) if you would like to sponsor or get involved in planning the unveiling program.
