This third post about “TAPPED IN” completes my plan to focus on artwork by all ten artist-scientist pairs in the exhibit. The pairs represented here are Mags Harries/ Nadia Szeinbaum, Victor Pacheco /Paul Kirshen, and Casey Figueroa /Terrius Harris.
THE UMBRELLA ARTS CENTER, 40 STOW STREET, CONCORD, MA, APRIL 11 – JUNE 8, 2024

“The exhibit aims to touch hearts and minds, fostering change through art that visualizes the impact and implications of the scientists’ work.” ( quote from TAPPED IN , Umbrella Arts Center)

Thanks to David Fichter, one morning in August 2018 I got to visit the Mystic River Mural team at work in the Mystic Activity Center.  My photos from a few moments hint at the numerous hours of planning, researching, sketching, designing, projecting, shaping, painting and much much more by teens and adults involved in the project. Outdoor explorations along the river were key features of the project, but indoor studio time was key to creating the mural panels added to the ongoing mural outdoors along Mystic Avenue.
