'This mural represents the past, present and future, but it's actively getting people from those times together to speak, not just to me, but to each other,' the artist says.
The likeness of the daughter of muralist Rob “ProBlak” Gibbs peers around the trees in Dewey Square in Gibbs’ work “Breathe Life Together,” the next mural to be featured on the façade of the Dewey Square Tunnel Air Intake Structure on the Rose Kennedy Greenway.
Rob “ProBlak” Gibbs applies gold paint with a roller as he creates “Breathe Life Together,” the next mural to be featured on the façade of the Dewey Square Tunnel Air Intake Structure on the Rose Kennedy Greenway. For Gibbs, the mural at the Rose Kennedy Greenway is a vastly different project from his other"Breathe Life" murals that enliven walls in Roxbury and Dorchester."The Greenway is like the gateway to so much of Boston," Gibbs points out. Connecting several of Boston's major areas like South Station, the Seaport and the Financial District, the Greenway has featured massive murals and other art installations since for years.
While the gold has caused Gibbs a lot of grief, its symbolism is important. His other murals have often featured Black children, a testament to his desire to represent Black youth and their communities in Boston's public art. However this time, it's hisdaughter, not a composite character, that is the subject and it feels much more vulnerable than his other work.
Though this mural marks a stylistic departure from some of Gibbs' previous works, the heart of it is the same — to visually mark places in Boston as safe spaces for children like his daughter to thrive."The children like her that come into this space, they got to know that this is theirs too," he points out."We don't have time to worry about where we belong or where we don't belong. We just need to know how we're celebrated in a small city like Boston.
