# Visual Intervention, Mural Art Project in Rochester

In July 2011, a first-of-its-kind public art mural project called *Visual Intervention* took place in Rochester, NY bringing together local artists and a group of four artists from Cape Town, SA, including [**Faith47**](/faith47-lost-spaces/), **DAL**, **Mak1** and **FreddySam** who shared their talents and painted several nice murals in hopes of inspiring the Rochester community...

Finally, the corresponding documentary was published last week which I don’t want to deforce from you. It gives a nice insight into the entire project, and includes not just statements by the artists and organizers, but also explains the event’s reasons and how everything worked out in the end.

In my eyes every urban art event in public space is a small step into a better world. Well done!
