NOTICE REGARDING
PROPOSED PUBLIC ART PROJECT
“RESILIENCE”
ARTIST: MONICA JAHAN BOSE
The art project RESILIENCE proposes to create a hand-made ceramic tile mural at the exterior of 1001 4th Street SW, Washington DC 20024. The tile mural will be affixed on the exterior grey wall on the south side of the building, which is adjacent to a private driveway but viewable from the street. The tile mural would be approximately 4 ft. x 19 ft., the size of a fabric sari. Bose is a Bangladeshi-American artist known for her fabric sari installations, and this will be a more permanent sari in ceramic. RESILIENCE will be created using sari woodblocks, hand painting, and stenciled poetry. As part of the project, Bose will lead several community poetry and art workshops. “Resilience” speaks to community resilience in the face of climate change and other challenges, and our deep connection to the water and the environment. Bose will seek a public art grant from DCCAH; the completion of the project is contingent on the grant.
When: The project would be installed in Spring/Summer 2026.
Where: The proposed site for the public art project is the exterior wall at 1001 4th Street SW, Washington DC 20024.
