A conversation hosted by the ArtLab and moderated by A.R.T. Dayron J. Miles with Boston muralist Problak about process
"Workshops are where I hold a mirror up in front of people and ask them to look at themselves, so they understand that this creative process starts with them." - Rob "Problak” Gibbs.

In this ArtsThursday conversation hosted by the ArtLab and moderated by A.R.T. Associate Artistic Director Dayron J. Miles, discover how Boston muralist Problak engages in process with intention to create more than mirrors in which Boston’s residents see themselves, but also collective and lasting stories that he calls “the fourth dimension” of his art.

This fall, Problak kicked off a collaborative process to create a mural for American Repertory Theater’s new home in Allston with neighborhood-based community visioning workshops. For this conversation, he’ll be joined by local muralists Maissel Grullón, Gina Latham, and Phoebe “PHEEBZ” Warner, who each led workshops in Malden, Cambridge, and Allston where their work is also on exhibition.
