The world of street art and care-filled design
summary
Design work on the street means building and testing in public: a Seismic at San Francisco General mural, a downtown billboard that students unexpectedly see in a parade, recurring mural revamps by Os Gemeos, and workshops run with 1AM, SCRAP and corporate teams (Adobe Google Figma). A Yale evaluation of the Porchlight Mural Program reports increases in social cohesion sense of agency neighborhood aesthetics and feelings of safety and reduced mental health stigma. Concrete methods include community co-creation teaching spray paint and ongoing maintenance.
