Amazing Mural on Display Outside Dearborn Public Schools Board Room
Dearborn Schools Art Teacher, Mohamad Bazzi, poses before his collaborative work.
–
In case you missed the Journeys & Distances multi-media and mural instillation exhibition at the Padzieski Gallery, this amazing mural is now on display right outside the superintendent’s office in the DPS Admin. Bldg.: 18700 Audette, Dearborn, Michigan.
From the OTHER-Arab Artists Collective website:
“Journeys & Distances” is a project of OTHER-Arab Artists Collective, featuring Radfan Alqirsh, Mohamad Bazzi, Imad Hassan, Michael Mansour, Joe Namy, Rola Nashef, Lana Rahme and Jackie Salloum. The exhibit will focus on the concept of immigrants in a constant state of “journeying.”
Through emigration, displacement and the search for a better life, people’s experiences and lives become linked to the old and the new. Their restlessness does not cease after they settle in their newly adopted country. They live in a state of flux resulting from the hybrid merging of cultures, values and places, as well as from the feeling or the fact that something has been left behind. They constantly migrate back and forth in a search for themselves. This migration may take a physical, emotional or mental form.
Come see it in person at one of the board meetings!
Here is the Board Meeting Schedule.
