A jovial Mayor Miller uses his camera phone to capture a moment at yesterday’s unveiling of Article 13, an artistic rendering of a new poem by Dionne Brand, far right, the City’s Poet Laureate. In the centre is Louise Garfield, Executive Director of Arts Etobicoke, the Local Arts Service Organization that spearheaded the art alley mural project.
Article 13 is the twelfth in a series of 30 proposed public murals — part of Amnesty International’s Project: Urban Canvas — each one an interpretation of one of the 30 articles of human rights. Article 13 states that “Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each state.” You can read Brand’s poem on the Arts Etobicoke website. The mural was designed by artist Susan Rowe Harrison and painted by William Lazos. Click through to see photos of the mural.
