CJI COLLABORATORS are organizers, activists, and leaders in communities on the front-lines of environmental justice, working to create a more just future. Environmental hazards affect marginalized communities, especially communities of color, the most. For this reason, Mural Arts’ Environmental Justice Department projects are rooted in front-line communities, centering their knowledge, expertise, and vision.

The mural itself is the result of many months of research, collaboration, conversation, and spirited debate among activists, organizers, and artists. The process of creation is just as important as the mural itself! We aspire to model the principles of a more just future in every aspect of our work, including the design and feedback process. To know more more about our process and our principles, read our full project description.

Knowledge sharing process

First-hand stories from CJI collaborators drive the design of the mural image.

At the site of the mural, the hub space hosts community conversations, workshops, and events to inform and activate the public.

Creative Disruptions use the power of public art to intervene directly in local climate injustices, supporting the priorities of collaborating organizations and amplifying their messages.
