Community Engagement
A core aspect of the project is community involvement. We believe that public art should reflect the voices and experiences of those it represents. To achieve this, we will:
- Host Workshops: Engage local children in the design process, allowing them to express their thoughts and feelings about prayer and community through art.
- Conduct Feedback Sessions: Gather input from community members to ensure the mural resonates with local values and experiences.
- Organize an Unveiling Ceremony: Celebrate the completion of the mural with a community event, inviting local leaders, families, and artists to come together.

- Planning and Design (Weeks 1-4): Engage the community and finalize the mural design.
- Preparation (Weeks 5-6): Prepare the mural surface and gather materials.
- Execution (Weeks 7-10): Paint the mural, incorporating community participation.
