Hampshire Mural Collective Unrecognized

Mission Statement
Collaborative multimedia synthesis of people's stories, installed in public space. We act as a representative of the student body in order to claim ownership of the graffiti wall, and educate other students, faculty, staff, and community members about its purpose as a space intended for education and creative expression. We try to get people to respect the space so that it can continue to be used.

We produce original works, and are also available for commission from other student groups and community organizations. Our murals tend to revolve around the themes of social justice, as well as the promotion of underrepresented cultures and ethnicities. We can either produce a mural independently for specific events or purposes, but we also host mural workshops to raise awareness about the themes being painted, and to transform the process of muralism into a collaborative, community-centered event.

In the coming months, the graffiti wall pavilion will be transformed. The stairs will be removed so that the pathway from Prescott to the arts village will be wheelchair accessible, and the wall will be removed as well. A new free-standing wall will be erected on the lawn behind the dance studio near the Prescott parking lot. It will be accessible from both sides, and visible from Prescott as well as the Cultural Center. During this period of construction, the HMC plans to work on indoor murals and banner projects.
