Girl Zone Middle School participants collaborated with Jane Madrigal, other local artists, and community members to create the “Dare to Be Powerful” mural as a tribute to women in their struggle against violence of all kinds, and a reminder of the continued path towards justice and equality.

Drawing inspiration from their own personal experiences and guided research, the girls were able to share their stories, express their creativity, and mark the intersections between their experiences and those of women around the globe.

In its entirety, Dare to Be Powerful will stand at over 12ft high and 250 ft. long, completely covering the Westfall Bridge on the South East side of San Antonio.
