Visual Art
Explore the vibrancy of Allston-Brighton. In this community-inspired mural, multidisciplinary artist ponnapa prakkamakul uses bright colors and whimsy to celebrate the collective experience of living, learning, playing, exploring, and being in Allston-Brighton. Navigate through beloved landmarks and favorite foods, Braille stories and lush landscapes to (re)discover and appreciate the neighborhood's eclectic treasures. Through collaborative design, prakkamakul connects people and their environment to better understand cultural displacement and cultivate a stronger sense of belonging.
May through August, try your luck with the rainbow hopscotch game installed by the mural. Hop On!
