About the Project 

This mural, entitled Reaching Out, is the result of a collaboration between painter Gabe Tiberino and graffiti artist DISTORT. They completed significant engagement with Kensington community members, reflecting on what’s needed for community recovery, which informed their mural design. Reaching Out represents the promise of a hopeful future, created only when we reach out for help and rely on our community for support.
