Get matched →The City of Boston commissioned artist Victor "Marka27" Quiñonez to create a mural at Washington Manor as part of the third round of the Transformative Public Art Program. The mural was installed in August 2022.
Washington Manor, 1701 Washington Street, South End, Boston, Massachusetts 02118. Washington Manor is a Boston Housing Authority community for low- and moderate-income elders and people with disabilities built in 1973.
The mural was inspired by the long history of cultural gatherings at Villa Victoria. It depicts a mother with a radiant child, an authentic Chinese dragon, an African textile wrap with the Puerto Rican flag and neo-Indigenous patterns, and Chinese symbols for prosperity, luck, longevity, and double happiness.
On this project, Marka27 collaborated with the Boston Housing Authority and Youth Lead the Change.
Victor held two meetings at Washington Manor to share his work with community members and get their input on the artwork. He also presented to and received approval for the mural by the South End Landmark District Commission.
