Overall Murals is proud to participate in a project that celebrates both community and the artistry of murals. We have had the honor of contributing to high-profile installations in the past, including work on the Boston Greenway, and we are thrilled once again to bring art to life meaningfully. Our team is dedicated to closely collaborating with artists to ensure that every detail of the design is faithfully recreated. We take great pride in ensuring that the colors match the artist's vision and that the artwork is executed precisely, honoring the artist's intent and unique perspective.

Overall Murals partnered with The Greenway Conservancy to showcase a mural by Indigenous-American multidisciplinary artist Jeffrey Gibson for this special project. This installation marks the 10th mural in the Conservancy’s series and the first by an Indigenous artist. The mural, titled "Your Spirit Whispering in My Ear," was unveiled on September 19 during a celebration that included performance, art-making, and music.

Gibson’s mural embodies ten powerful elements that honor the strength, courage, and faith of Indigenous, Native, and other marginalized communities who continue to overcome systemic barriers. The work incorporates imagery from Gibson’s personal collection, including pins that symbolize social and political movements advocating for bodily autonomy, feminism, peace, freedom, and environmentalism.

As part of this powerful narrative, two beaded masks from Gibson’s past installations, "They Play Endlessly" (2021) and "IN TIME YOU’LL BE FINE" (2021), were hand painted onto the wall. These symbols and imagery of burning sage and a beaded snake contribute to a tapestry that honors the interconnectedness of people, art, and history.

It is an honor for Overall Murals to recreate works of art for artists like Jeffrey Gibson, whose work fuses personal and cultural narratives in such a dynamic way. We are excited to be part of this public art initiative and contribute to a project that will inspire community conversation, reflection, and pride.
