Update:
The Richmond Mural Project: The Extraordinary Ordinary People
In this
project we make use of the transformative experience of storytelling
and coordinated forms of artistic expression to create a greater
awareness of empathy, with the goal of fostering a deeper sense of
connection and inclusivity among citizens of the East Bay, in Northern California. The purpose
is to reduce our society’s empathy deficit by collecting
and then sharing stories about the place of empathy in the lives of
ordinary citizens - citizens whose backgrounds may be wildly diverse,
but who share a common humanity and common citizenry.

Judy Baca and the SPARC team invited local residents to share what they felt was
significant about their ancestry. Baca wanted to know
the events that shaped Richmond, and how their family had contributed to shaping
the city today. They asked them to bring a family photograph that showed their ancestry in
Richmond or a home before they or their family arrived in Richmond.
