UNDERGROUND RAILROAD MURAL (TRIGG Community School in Elizabeth City, North Carolina)

This mural was created during a two week residency at H. L. Trigg Community School in Elizabeth City North Carolina . The concept was inspired by the history of "The Great Dismal Swamp" and its connection to the 'Underground Railroad. The students went on a field trip to explore the historic Dismal Swamp as part of the residency experience. Tunde worked with the students to transform the information collected through research into this powerful visual narrative which reflect on an important part of American history.
