Artist collaboration with the Ferguson Youth Initiative. Over the course of three weekends in October 2014, the project, held at Ferguson Youth Initiative headquarters, welcomed teens of all artistic abilities and backgrounds to create the large scale mural. In its second phase after completion, each of the eight panels was temporarily displayed at eight different locations throughout the Ferguson community. The mission of the One Love mural is to inspire a long-term approach to community-building and to underscore the importance of art as an invaluable unifier for social change. The 32 x 8 foot mural is currently on display at UMSL's Gallery 210, as part of a city-wide Outside In: Paint for Peace exhibition, which documents the call and response during the Ferguson protests and community recovery after August 2014.
