MassArt student, Gabriela Moreno, BFA ’25, was recently selected by GBH’s Community Canvas for her mural reflecting everyday life in El Salvador.

“El Salvador is a beautiful country that my family is from,” Moreno says. “As a first generation Salvadoran American, I want to represent my culture but also bring the Latin American community together.”
