The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery, in partnership with CCBI, hosted its inaugural post-secondary design challenge AFFECT between March 10th to May 6th, 2021.

This interactive workshop was for administrators and artists alike interested in engaging with communities for producing murals in public spaces.

Street art and activism are intrinsically connected and can be seen in examples across history from the Berlin Wall to the Black Lives Matter movement. Through the democratization of public spaces, street art aims to reclaim communities from gentrifying forces, to build back a sense of home for marginalized people, and to propose alternative social structures.
