Through the Leadership In Action internship with Leadership Education for Asian Pacifics (LEAP) a group of 9 interns put together a project, better known as APeyes. We researched, made site visits and and talked to community members and leaders about murals in their community. Our project APeyes: Catching A Glimpse of API Murals in Los Angeles , aims to increase awareness, visibility, and knowledge on existing API murals in Southern California . We believe that understanding the significance behind the API murals will deepen our desires to understand our various communities. Moreover, we wanted to explore the possibilities of community based mural making as a site of activism in its preservation of our collective public and cultural memories that are not reflected in mainstream art. |
