Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
Residents of Angleur, a district of Liège, Belgium, collaborated to create mosaic murals for their local library.
For nearly a year, people from Angleur and Liège, students from the Andrea Jadoulle primary school, and children attending city-run workshops worked together to design and install the mosaics. They aimed to brighten the library’s surroundings and involve the community in improving their neighborhood. The Ourthe and Meuse cultural center led the project, partnering with the Angleur library and the school.
The city of Liège’s cultural and technical services also provided support. Participants of different ages contributed to the artwork, fostering connections between generations. The inauguration of the murals included a performance by the vocal group Polyfunny, led by Marie Zinnen, and provided a festive setting for participants and community members to celebrate. Organizers plan to continue the “Mosaic Days” initiative, which began after the 2021 floods, with another round of workshops starting in October to create more public art.
