"Turn the Tide" is a mobile mural made with four other artists instructed at the Jane Addams Hull House for Arts and Culture in Chicago. The mural sought to address issues of gentrification occurring in the north side neighborhood where the mural was created and hung. Through conversations with local members of the community the narrative was developed and events and individuals were incorporated. The outcome went beyond residential issues to explore the complexities and externalities of capitalism. The image encourages the community to continue building solidarity (like a wave) and grow organically and dynamically against the corporate mechanisms of monoculture.
