Thank you to the @washingtonianmag for being with us as the @bofhcampaign mural was being constructed on M Street in the Georgetown neighborhood in Washington, DC. As families, we have come together once we realize we are on this journey together and stronger together ❤️ we need each other to learn from, lean on, and raise awareness for our loved ones wrongfully detained and hostages abroad. They are all Americans who need other Americans! #bringthemhome
From the @washingtonianmag :
People gathered in Georgetown Tuesday morning to paste photos of Americans wrongfully detained overseas in an effort to bring awareness to their cases. When the mural is done, photos of 18 people, including the faces of Brittney Griner, Paul Rusesabagina, and Paul Whelan, will be compiled in a 15-foot tall artwork on M Street, Northwest, that spans the length of the alley between Levain Bakery and the former home of Rí Rá Irish pub. The collaborative piece will take approximately eight hours to build before it is revealed in full on Wednesday morning.
@isaacampbell.art says the mural could last anywhere from a few days or three to six months to over a year, depending on how well the photo compilation withstands the human and natural elements. The photos themselves are an indicator of time as well; crisp photos from last year “uncomfortably juxtaposed” with photos from ten years ago.
@neda_s_s says it’s particularly meaningful for this mural to be in Georgetown and in DC, Emad’s home, where she has such wonderful memories of going to restaurants and movies with him.“It really makes me feel proud to be a Washingtonian.”
