The Mural Arts Program’s Open Source exhibition took a second step forward yesterday when French artist JR began posting a portrait of a immigrant on the side wall of a Center City office building.
As WHYY’s Peter Crimmins put it:
JR, who is known internationally for the enormous scale of his work and its social activism, was invited by Philadelphia’s Mural Arts Program to create a new work related to immigrants. He chose to put Ibrahim on the Graham Building because the surrounding buildings partially obscure the image. Ibrahim appears to be hiding in plain sight.
