In preparation for a forthcoming exhibition of the murals at 亚色影库 in the fall of 2025, The Plywood Quilt highlights MTM鈥檚 community-based 鈥淧aint to Express鈥 workshops, which are designed to center and be a place of peace for the BIPOC community by uplifting their stories and their art. Leesa Kelly, Executive Director of MTM, and Amira McLendon, Collections Manager for MTM, explain:

Each 12鈥漻12鈥 plywood panel, created in Paint to Express workshops presented by Memorialize the Movement from 2022鈥2025, carries its own unique perspective. Yet, when viewed together, the quilt reveals an undeniable truth鈥攐ur stories, though distinct, are deeply connected."
