The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
My idea is having the youth artist of Boston curate and redesign some of the murals within the Boston community. This would give recognition to the many artists inside Boston and help the citizens create a lively display of their creativity.
Who it helps and why
I hope this leads us to becoming more united as whole in Boston I hope these murals will represent a sense of reflection and deter the youth from engaging in gun violence and more. This will advance social change by uniting all citizens to contribute their ideas.
