Muhsana Ali is an internationally recognized artist based in Senegal who works in many media to create conceptual community-centered art. The project was organized by the USM Artist-in-Residence program in collaboration with the School of Social Work and Coffee By Design. My participation in this project included: collecting materials, gluing pieces to the wall, leading glass painting, grouting, and cleaning. Working closely with Ali and family showed me how artwork can be used to make an unlikely community feel connected and represented accurately.
