What started as a quilt-inspired collaged painting featuring snapshots of Black joy and aliveness on a snowy Boston day is now a 60-foot printed mural, on view until March 2022. Artists Johnetta Tinker and Susan Thompson dreamed up “Deeply Rooted in the NeighborHOOD” to share uplifting depictions of neighborhood life while also paying homage to their mentor, Boston-based artist Allan Rohan Crite.
