The faces of 18 Americans wrongfully detained will be compiled in a 15-foot tall artwork in Georgetown.
People gathered in Georgetown Tuesday morning to paste photos of Americans wrongfully detained overseas in an effort to bring awareness to their cases. When the mural is done, photos of 18 people, including the faces of Brittney Griner, Paul Rusesabagina, and Paul Whelan, will be compiled in a 15-foot tall artwork on M Street, Northwest, that spans the length of the alley between Levain Bakery and the former home of Rí Rá Irish pub.
Iowan artist Isaac Campbell designed the black and white mural and said he’s acting as a team leader, aiding detainees’ family members and passersby alike as they cut and paste the photos to the wall using flour, water and sugar to create a non-toxic, biodegradable glue.“Wheat paste has long been used as traditionally a form of protest, of people getting together to make sure their voices are heard in public settings,” Campbell says.
The 2017 photo Emad Shargi’s family chose to use shows Emad sitting in a garden in a blue-color shirt, smiling from ear to ear.
