PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Social Traps is a mural addressing gun-violence in US culture. The artists worked with students at the school to address the causes of gun-violence and examine ways to prevent it. The team employed a visual style taken from advertising and its impact in popular culture, involving bold messaging and repetition to address the consequences of social disorder.
