Coinciding with the National Academy of Design’s open call for proposals for the Abbey Mural Prize, this panel conversation–co-organized with Groundswell and moderated by our Executive Director, Robyne Walker Murphy, who will look at the complicated and community-driven history of murals as an act of liberation.
