This fascinating exhibition of murals created by Saudi-born artist, photographer and writer Ebtehal Badawi demonstrates how art has the power to draw people together.

Ebtehal initially conceived her murals as an anti-bullying campaign of posters in local schools after her son endured bullying as a young child. The concept grew, and Ebtehal has since brought together more than 5,000 Pittsburghers — children and adults, students, city officials, actors, artists, poets, dancers, and professional athletes, including the Pittsburgh Steelers, Pirates and Penguins — to create murals at 50 locations across the region symbolizing unity and harmony. Ebtehal created this community mural with visitors at The Frick Pittsburgh’s Summer Friday event on August 2, 2024.
