Artist Manuela Guillén says Philly’s art community helped make her mural possible

Artist Manuela Guillén found community at a shared studio on Germantown Avenue. It was in this space, lent to her by a friend, that she completed a mural in collaboration with students from Kirkbride Elementary as part of We Will Write the World, a Mural Arts and Read by 4th project. The mural now lives outside Cosmi’s Deli in South Philadelphia.

    I produce video series in partnership with desks across our newsroom that answer key questions about Philadelphia and the region. There are many ways to tell a story — I’m all about finding the one that enhances your daily scroll.
