Artist Symone Salib’s newest mural centers seven immigrant women offering experiences often unheard outside their realities.
A brand-new temporary mural has been put up at 512 S. Broad St, paying homage to seven different immigrant women community leaders in Philadelphia.
The mural depicts each woman’s face accompanied by a personal quote, ranging from something they would want to say to their future daughter, to statements on legal status and immigration.
The artist, Symone Salib, who’s personality could fill a room, was commissioned by Mural Arts Philadelphia to construct the piece in honor of World Refugee Day, which took place on Sunday, June 20.
Based in Philadelphia, Salib also has portraits commissioned at 13th and Arch St. of several prominent Philadelphia-based activists like Rasheed Ajamu, better known as ‘PhreedomJawn,’ along with other installations around the city.
In a conversation with AL DÍA, Salib shed light on her thoughts on the mural and what it stands for, not only within the Philadelphia community, but also for undocumented and immigrant women across the nation.
