Symbols of Change, 35' x 128', acrylic mural on non-woven media, 21st and Market St., Sponsored by the Philadelphia Department of Human Services, 2004. Gensler worked with over 100 truant teenagers throughout Philadelphia to design symbols that represented their lives or where they would like their lives to be. Some of these students participated in roundtable discussions with judges, police, school administrators, social workers and parents to discuss the issue of truancy in their city. |

Moving Towards Your Dreams, 30' x 900', acrylic mural, Darien and Pattison St., Sponsored by Eagles Youth Partnership,2003. The project involved 250 children from around Philadelphia who made drawings of their dreams. These drawings became a springboard for my design. Their drawings are juxtaposed with actual kids engaged in doing things they love. A single boy runs through the entire mural eventually leaping off into the clouds and his dreams. |
