In conjunction with the Peace in the Park initiative, Projectivity also curated a mural makeover of PS 78’s annex building consisting of three murals totaling 900 square feet by Lina Montoya and Mona Oman.

Peace in the Park includes 20 murals spanning a 200 foot long wall PS 78 shares with Rev. Dr. Maggie Howard Park in Staten Island’s Stapleton neighborhood. The mural project was a community response to several violent crimes in 2023, including the elementary school’s window being struck by gunfire, and the fatal shooting of Jamoure Harrell, a 13-year-old killed while playing basketball in the playground in May.

The Staten Island Advance reported on the project here.
