FYI Mural Project: Climate Justice and Food (2022)

The Food Youth Initiative launched a youth-led public art initiative to bring attention to the effect of climate change in North Carolina and beyond. The FYI Mural Project activated youth groups, local artists and organizers by merging education, reflection, community building and arts. Participating youth have come together to learn about opportunities to shift food systems in response to climate change and frameworks for making change in their communities. Muralists Claire Alexandre and Alyzza May led several workshops with the youth to develop the concept for the mural and art galleries.
