You. Me. A Place To Be.
You, Me, a place to be is a co-created mural between the artist, ponnapa prakkamakul, and community in Allston and Brighton. During fall 2023 and spring 2024, ponnapa conducted artmaking activities and interviews asking Brighton Common park visitors and Allston residents to share their favorite things in Allston and Brighton. The responses from multinational residents and visitors of all ages got translated into the graphic design of the mural. Selected quotes were etched into wood panel in various languages, including braille. The design of the mural aims to celebrate the community’s collective experience of living, learning, playing, exploring, and being in Allston and Brighton areas reflecting on the diversity and uniqueness of the neighborhoods. The project is supported by Harvard Ed Portal.
