PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Groundswell artist Bayunga Kialeuka worked with youth and administrators from the South Brooklyn Youth Consortium, Inc., a community center in Coney Island, to create a mural focusing on family, community, and education. The figures in the mural represent a composite of local residents depicted in a tutoring scene in one of the center's classrooms, and an outdoor scene on the boardwalk.
