Description

TWMIG: A Mural Experience is an event and installation that is born of the project, To Whom Much Is Given curated by native-Detroiter and long time arts worker, Malika N. Pryor. Each element shares a single body of goals: to connect Detroit and it's future (the youth) to the decades long legacy of Black Detroit led arts movements and arts institutions; to historicize the professional life-work of Dell Pryor and Josephine Love; and to articulate the capacity of creative small businesses to be catalysts for lasting change and powerful and sustainable entrepreneurial pursuits. This entire installation is a collaboration between noted muralist, Ijania Cortez, Mission I'm Possible young artists, and the TWMIG Team. Ijania will design the mural using elements of the young artist's original works developed during their program and will paint the mural. Bring on the celebration of Black Femme Magic and Detroit. Dance, laugh, and listen as the event will feature a DJ, and conversation with the artist and curator. We are so proud and grateful to be included in this year's Detroit Month of Design. Special thanks to Detroit Arts Culture and Entrepreneurship for their support and to Detroit Artists Market for hosting!
