This book showcases some of my favorite Murals from Washington DC.

2020 was a very strange year with the pandemic effecting all of us. It was also a time of tremendous uncertainty. That uncertainly is reflected in the many DC Murals that have appeared across Washington DC. While many of the murals are just beautiful pieces of art, many of them reflect the struggles that our society is facing. Some of the central themes are Black Lives Matter, DC Statehood, and Women’s rights.

The artists that create these amazing pieces are truly inspiring. The murals reflect raw emotions and provide a reflection of society. While murals use to be dismissed as not real artwork this is no longer the case.

The city of Washington DC has embraced murals and even has created a website with maps and information on the artist. The murals are a “visual documentation of Washington, DC’s rich history.”

The murals are found all over the city and help beautify the city. While most of the artists are local many of the murals are created by international artists as well.
