On the corner of the Fergusonweg (extension of the Schouwburgweg) and the Groot Kwartierweg students are currently finishing a big artwork. A construction project is currently in progress at that location and a deliberate choice was made to erect white fencing with a special purpose to allow students of Instituto Buena Bista (IBB) to accrue practical experience through painting on large surfaces in the public space.
The initiative is the result of a three-year co-operation between project developer Live Strong and Instituto Buena Bista.
The students of IBB under guidance of IBB stafmember Johanna Franco Zapata are currently making a mural on the fencing. The concept behind the mural is based on elements from the story of Trustmoore. Students made associations to, e.g., events surrounding the official notarial coining of the company name, but also to their own experiences. All these ideas, colors and styles are being combined into a giant composition. Employees of Trustmoore and future tenant EM Group were also invited to participate in the painting process and had an intense collaboration with the IBB students.
