Hurricane Andrew Mural On Display through September 2
The
mural resulted from a collaboration among artists Dena and Stewart Stewart and
Barbara Phillips and her magnet classes at Mays Middle School in Goulds,
Florida. Goulds was one of the areas in South Florida hardest hit by Hurricane
Andrew on August 24, 1992.
The Mays Middle School students ranged in age from
12-14. The mural, painted on 16 door-sized panels, is based on what was seen,
heard and felt during and after the storm. The devastating after effects were
expected to be a part of their lives for a long time. One of the mural panels is
signed by (then President) Bill Clinton and his wife, Hillary Clinton.
Also on display, a series of 7 large
photographs taken by Barry Fellman, which show the dramatic effect Hurricane
Andrew had on the Kendall Tamiami Airport.
