A 20ftx50t mural hanging in Minneapolis MN, USA. It depicts a historical overview of workers cooperatives.
Designed By Luther Lyons Hill IV
Produced by Studio 253 Finishes and Benjamin Bayne
I love this piece, I think the colour palette really works well and executed in a brilliant style; a nice contemporary, illustrative twist on the classic workers mural.
