STORIES FROM THE ROAD

EAST BELFAST, NORTHERN IRELAND. These are just a few of the young artists that helped our team create a mural in the Short Strand Community of East Belfast. Over the course of six months our team of University of Kansas senior design students gathered in our studio to collaborate and imagine a mural that the community could help us paint. Andrés Rivas–Cruz, Jon Duong, Lauren Bowles and Noel Rivard, all recent design school graduates, joined us to travel to East Belfast for two weeks of painting and working with youth of the Short Strand. We found it to be an amazing experience of how art can build relationships by creating something together that we could not create alone. Click for more about the Genesis Art Belfast Project.
