The characters, monuments, and landmarks in this mural were imagined by students at New York City high schools. Set in a parallel version of New York City, known as Gotham, the scene interweaves the students’ stories and ideas, reflecting a community that cares for one another, grows together, and manifests creativity.

This mural was created as part of DonChristian Jones’s Adobe Creative Residency at MoMA, a yearlong, sponsored residency opportunity for New York City–based artists with a demonstrated commitment to engaging communities as part of their practice.

The mural artists are Victor A. Saint-Hilaire (VASH), DonChristian Jones, Public Assistants with students from Academy of American Studies, H.E.R.O. High (Health, Education, and Research Occupations High School), and New World High School.

Thanks to teachers Andrew Testa, Emelin Jorge, Dana Szalkiewicz, and Lisa Montalbano.

The Adobe Foundation is proud to support equity, learning, and creativity at MoMA.
