Turning the ordinary into the extraordinary
Sophomores Banji Iyun (foreground) and Katherine Karr work on the "World Music Mural" May 3 in the parking lot of the Casa Loma Ballroom in St. Louis. The 125-foot-long mural was designed and created by 28 Hispanic teens who comprise the Southside Tutoring/Mentoring Program's youth group, with support from 27 volunteer tutors from the University coordinated by Virginia Braxs, Spanish lecturer in Romance languages and literatures in Arts & Sciences. Eric Repice, graduate student in anthropology in Arts & Sciences, was one of the lead artists on the project, which was officially unveiled May 4 during a Cinco de Mayo celebration.
