South Philly Kaleidoscope

South Philly Kaleidoscope was a vibrant mural created by Shira Walinsky and BRIDGE program students from University of the Arts. It depicts the South Philadelphia neighborhood’s diversity through a series of current and historical images, symbols and words emblematic of the neighborhood’s varied histories and cultures interspersed with colorful shapes and arranged in a colorful kaleidoscopic formation. The kaleidoscope is superimposed on a line map of the area. Images were provided by the of the region (provided the Historical Society of Pennsylvania). The goal was to celebrate the diversity of the neighborhood.
