The new work by Dunn keeps the REO Town area vibrant and alive as an arts hub in the region. “I was excited for my work to be chosen for the BWL and REO Town project because I’m committed to depicting positive representations of women and especially Black and Brown women, immigrants and people with complex cultural backgrounds. As a Mexican American woman myself, this issue is close to my heart,” said artist, Teresa Dunn.
The mural is a recreation of a painting called “A Long Line of Women,” and is currently on display at the MSU Broad through July. It celebrates women’s connections to each other through family, friendship or mentorship.
“It is important for girls and women of all ages and backgrounds to be represented in various cultural expressions,” said Dunn. “I am proud to have had this piece selected for this public-facing opportunity.”
