COMMUNITY MURALS, VIDEO, MULTI-MEDIA, NEW MEDIA
USA, PALESTINE, LEBANON

Break the Silence Mural and Arts Project (BTS/MAP) uses community public art and technology, including murals, websites, social and new media, to create spaces for critical thinking and action. BTS/MAP moves from the local to the global, from the streets of San Francisco to refugee camps of Palestine.  The projects make visible histories and relationships that have been obliterated and forgotten; making connections to national and global issues of social justice, borders, precarity, migrations and decolonization.

The globe shrinks for those who own it; [but] for the displaced or the dispossessed, the migrant or refugee, no distance is more awesome than the few feet across borders or frontiers– Homi Bhabha
