Some art seen on a walk in downtown New Bedford

Some art seen on a walk in downtown New Bedford

Good Morning have a great day

Here I plan on staying indoors and cool today with the temp expected to reach 99, a good day to stay indoors and cool

The other day I took an early morning walk, Starting at the port and then heading into the historic district
Taking photos here and thee and then I came up to the city hall and noticed these colorful murals, almost like big quilts

I am guessing they up as part of the Pride Month, and I am sure there wil be a fairly even mix of those who think this is great and those who are anti the idea and say it looks horrible.

I looked it up and the exhibit is entitled being seen, The project centers on a collaborative tapestry crafted from upcycled textiles, reflecting both personal stories and collective resilience.
I think it looks pretty cool myself

Here is one side of it
the piece is made from many contributors who range in age from 4 to over 80. Half of the participants are LGBTQ+ community members, while the other half are allies.

Originally it was planned for just here in New Bedford but apparently it has bene so poular and there have been requests for other cities to sow it, so that the plan now to move it over the next couple of years

That is really cool. I like the quilt style. It's amazing that they were able to make it work so well and pretty cool that they are going to share it with other areas. I like that it brings a lot of perspectives into a single piece.

It’s amazing, as simple as fabric can carry so much meaning when it’s woven together with care and purpose.💕

Those murals looks so pretty and they are all available to see for every passerby, that's cool and they are so lucky. It's sad that this kind of thing is not available in our small town. I mean, arts, it's really not a thing here.

I didn't know New Bedford had so much character in its streets! That recycled rooster made me smile. And I love that the tapestry reflects real stories, so meaningful.
