*Sections Underlined:

  • Numbers underlined in yellow means the selected section has two separate parts with two different colour palettes.

  • Numbers underlined in green means the selected section has three separate parts with three different colour palettes.

*Sections Circled:

  • #48, given the preliminary sketches and the feedback, this eye is saved for the text ‘I Can’t Breath’ and the story around George Floyd. Remember this is your story, your perspective, your reflections on what is happening. If you are feeling called to do it, GO FOR IT!

  • #32, given the preliminary sketches, knowledge holders, and feedback, it is necessary to incorporate the pride flag in the painting. If this is part of YOUR story, choose this sections and draw your story. The special request is that the background must be the POC Rainbow Flag. 

  • #40, given the preliminary sketches and feedback, it was important to add a mask to this story showing the overlapping times of People Power (fist) and the Pandemic (mask). When you add your story here, keep these things in mind. 

  • #26, given the preliminary sketches and feedback, it is requested that this section is reserved for the SUN. If the sun speaks to your story, perhaps this is the section for you.


Choosing Your Sections!


To choose your section, first take note of the number of the section you want. And then, contact your Art Buddy to save it for you.


Important things to keep in mind when choosing your section:

  • Is it taken? (see if there is a name on it in the list below)

  • Does it have one colour palette, or two or even three colour palettes? Having more colour palette is more challenging to work with. So if you are up for the challenge, go for it!

  • Does the selection you want have a special request? Some sections have special requests. If the request speaks to you and it relates to YOUR story, Go for it!

  • Do you want to choose your colours? then maybe start by looking at the colours of the painting, and choosing a section within that area.

  • Does your story relate to the water? or protesters? or the mouth for voice? or the clouds? Think about sections as metaphors that will support your story.

Art In Hard Times

Virtual Mural

We acknowledge the history of displacement, colonization, and extermination of Indigenous people, plants and living animals across Turtle Island while we stand and live in these lands. We acknowledge the 300 years of slavery and many other deliberate projects forgetting and erasure based on race, ability, mental illness, gender and sexuality, and class. We also need to bring to mind that the devices such as computers and phones required for this project, are created as a result of extraction of resources of metals and the exploitation of labour from places in Africa and South America. This is destroying the environment and leaving communities in poverty. We acknowledge that although the participants in the project speak a wide range of beautiful languages, we are limited to using the colonial language English. This excludes many new immigrants, and perpetuates the loss of many native languages. Furthermore, even though we believe internet should be a utility and not a luxury, we recognize this platform requires internet and this is also a big barrier for many friends who do not have access. We are confronting many difficulties to do our work in the most ethical way possible. We want to go beyond acknowledging these realities taking action, and we are far from where we would like to be. We are deeply grateful to the spiritual leaders, activists, elders, knowledge-holders, scientists, healers, and witches who have dedicated their lives lifting our spirit, raising awareness, educating, healing, and guiding. We are committed to learning and unlearning how to be in and build relationships with local communities, and honour local knowledge that is often misrepresented or misheard. We are here ready to fail, be with the discomfort, and continue listening, loving, and creating. We are trying our best to reinvent and regenerate our ways of being, sharing, and connecting with each other and with the earth. We invite you to be part of this co-creation, and we welcome your feedback.
