I am the Atlantic Mural
attraction
Three youths steer through rough waters toward the light in this Philadelphia mural dedicated to youth resilience.
Description

Sponsored by the Porch Light Program in September 2013, the work was conceived to address youth trauma and neighborhood violence across the city. Rather than framing young people through hardship alone, the project sets out to show both participants and viewers that they are survivors not victims, emphasizing that creative involvement leaves a lasting impact and reinforcing a clear message of endurance through struggle.
