New Horizons

Following the Eaton Fire, Altadena residents collaborated with The Goodness Tour on a community mural. New Horizons makes room for shared expression within a landscape of loss and rebuilding.

The creative process

Public-art documentation records the mural at 15.5 by 60 feet. Local coverage describes the participation of more than 100 residents and the community-wide creative process.

A continuing conversation

This project belongs to a wider practice of community-authored expression. Its relationship to Artegenesis is explored as part of Benjamin’s developing research, without assuming identical effects across communities.
