[She/Her] Monica Campana, a native of Peru, moved to the US when she was 15 in 1998 but continued to feel like a visitor in her overlooked part of town well into adulthood. Her artistic skills and desire to find home led to street art - which introduced her to a different way to see the city she lived in while giving her a new sense of empowerment.
Soon after that, she used those artistic and organizational skills to create Living Walls, The City Speaks, a nonprofit organization that uses art to catalyze conversations about art as a tool for social change and operates at the intersection between art, social justice, and economic development.
[She/Her] Angela Bortone is a Dominican-Italian artist based in Atlanta. Born in the Dominican Republic, she spent nearly a decade abroad in Germany before moving to Atlanta in 2002. Bortone earned a BFA in studio art from Georgia State University in 2010. Specializing in large scale art production, with a particular interest in realism and portraiture, her work has primarily focused on murals and scenic painting. She first started working with Living Walls in 2019 as an artist assistant and site manager, and officially joined the team as a project manager in 2025.

Ahead of our final community paint day, we want to clarify our intentions and acknowledge our positionality in the struggles this project touches on. As an organization working from the U.S. in collaboration with Addam Yekutieli, an Israeli artist, we are working with tensions that cannot be ignored. This project emerged from conversations around hyper-militarization in the U.S. as it is interconnected with the Israeli state’s methods of oppression within occupied Palestine, and how we navigate these realities with varying degrees of privilege. While the project in its nature presents messaging that is fragmented and up to interpretation, we want to make it abundantly clear that we are working from a stance that is pro-Palestine, anti-Zionist, anti-apartheid, and anti-genocide. We stand with Palestine and its people; we are not free until we are all free. 🇵🇸 project in collaboration with @thisislimbo photos from community paint days by @clairipop 💌

A Home Team Conversation | Gallery FC | September 14, 2026 | 6-8PM This year, as Atlanta prepared to welcome the world, organizers, curators, and artists worked behind the scenes to coordinate dozens of artists for murals across the city. Join the administrators behind some of these projects for a conversation about the invisible labor of public art—balancing conditions with creativity, supporting artists through complex commissions, and imagining the standards and infrastructure needed for a thriving public art ecosystem. This discussion follows @atlgalleryfc’s Home Team Exhibition highlighting artists who created public art in Atlanta ahead of the World Cup. We ask not only how these projects came together, but how we build stronger conditions for artists and organizers in the future. The Home Team Exhibition is on view through October 9th @atlgalleryfc. Presented in partnership with @livingwallsatl, @downtownatlanta and @fultonarts, @asha.advisory and @artinthepaintorg, hosted by @atlgalleryfc at @thectratlanta.

UPCOMING COMMUNITY PAINT DAYS 💌 Living Walls and Addam Yekutieli (@thisislimbo) invite you to take part in community paint days for ‘INTERCONNECTED MEMORY,’ a collaborative banner project emerging from ongoing conversations and community reflections around grief, displacement, witnessing, political and moral responsibility, and the uneven conditions surrounding our respective lived contexts. Join us in producing this work that speaks to our collective struggles. Through a shared creative process, we create room to explore how our grief is translated and how our words resonate collectively. Visit livingwallsatl.com/addam to RSVP & learn more. September 10th @ 3-7PM September 12th @ 12-5PM September 15th @ 3-7PM September 17th @ 3-7PM @ GOAT FARM photos from ‘A Silent Demonstration’ by Addam Yekutieli / Nuart Festival / Aberdeen, Scottland / June 2024 💌

*SUBMISSIONS EXTENDED TO 8/21/26 Living Walls is collaborating with artist Addam Yekutieli (@thisislimbo) to invite you to take part in a collaborative project that speaks to our collective struggles, culminating in a site-specific installation from his banner series. We invite you to respond to the theme of ‘INTERCONNECTED MEMORY’ through a short text, reflection, testimony, story, or personal account. We are extending the submissions through Friday 8/21 to allow more time for reflection and intentional input. Through a shared creative process, we examine how different systems of violence shape people’s lives in distinct yet connected ways. We create room to explore how our grief is translated and how our words resonate collectively. The resulting banners resist singular interpretation and instead reflect the partial, mediated, and often unresolved ways people encounter one another’s histories and political realities. photos from a walk in Weelaunee / Dolls Head Trail / August 2026 livingwallsatl.com/addam 💌

Introducing our newest collaboration with Addam Yekutieli / @thisislimbo 💌 Artist Addam Yekutieli and Living Walls invite you to take part in a collaborative project that speaks to our collective struggles, culminating in a site-specific installation from his banner series. We invite you to respond to the prompts by writing short texts or testimonials exploring the theme ‘INTERCONNECTED MEMORY’ from which Addam will then extract sentence fragments that will later be hand-painted onto banners and installed in a tiled composition in public space. visit livingwallsatl.com/addam to learn more, share your reflections & stay in the loop about community paint days & upcoming installations *SUBMISSIONS EXTENDED TO 8/21/26 photos from ‘A Silent Demonstration’ by Addam Yekutieli / Nuart Festival / Aberdeen, Scottland / June 2024 💌

“A Taste of My ATL - Mi Sabor de ATL” by Liliana Penagos @pendejaporpeppers is now the largest mural added to the @cityofatlantaga’s street art collection this year. Coming in at over 13,000 sq ft, the mural is the first of its size to use a community-engaged paint by numbers process on mural cloth. We couldn’t have made this happen without 250 incredible volunteers, our collaboration with @thecocacolaco, @keepamericabeautiful & @cityofatlantaga, and the massive team that came together to install this mural over a rainy 2 weeks: @itneedsmorepaint @prem_r_k @azt_eka @bornartistofficial @laceyclongino @creativemida @thehopeofart @xmaine @chantrelle @johnlasalle_25 @monicaxcampana @angela_bortone Read more of Liliana’s story and watch the full video by @vigface at livingwallsatl.com/liliana-penagos 📍North Ave & State St NW 💙

Thinking about this masterpiece by Nicole Merizalde @zaldepaints for @dunwoodyparksandrec at @stagedoortheatrega 💙 Zalde’s style combines both realism and graphic elements to create a fusion that transports you to a dreamy, surrealistic world. She aims to represent the ever-growing population of “hyphenated Americans” and the beauty in being culturally and ethnically multifaceted.​​​​​​​ This mural leans into that mission while highlighting all that goes into bringing a play to life—from actors to playwrights to lighting, costume, set design and even the audience itself—mirroring how theatre and murals alike take many hands to bring art to life. Stop by Dunwoody Cultural Arts Center to see the mural in person, take some art classes, and see some incredible performances! assisted by @trudytranart commissioned by @dunwoodyparksandrec for @stagedoortheatrega 📸 @portraitsbyisadora 💙

Brianna Gardocki (@brianna.gardocki) was the first of 6 murals we completed last month across bridges, tunnels, and walls from SW ATL to South Downtown. Outside of Five Points Station, Gardocki sends love to @martatransit, its passengers, and the city it moves through. Since the time it was produced, the cityscape surrounding it has already transformed with more murals, more investment, and more life. As our city changes before our eyes, we’re grateful to see Atlanta-based artists and storytellers included in this investment. Here’s to inspiring continued care and investment in our city, public transportation, and creative economy! sponsored by @cityofatlantaga support from @southdowntownatl project managed by @mirandakyle13 assisted by @itneedsmorepaint @charitymadeit @artist_inus @vivaloubegas 🎥 @aparrilla3000 💙

breaking the 4th wall to re-introduce myself: hi! I’m Tatiana Bell (@pppeeewwweee) and I’m the Creative Director for Living Walls. I’m the curator of our most recent projects, and I’ve also been managing our social media since 2021. Thank you for your patience as we took a much needed social media break after completing some of our biggest projects to date. These projects were a labor of love from the artists and everyone who made it happen, and we hope you can feel that love as you pass by. Check out our recent posts or head to livingwallsatl.com/2026 to learn more about these projects, the artists, and everyone who helped bring them to life. We have much more to share and many more exciting things to come. 🎥 @aparrilla3000 💙

Yesterday’s unveiling marked the end of a wild two months where we completed six mural projects alongside 35 artists and countless community partners, volunteers, and supporters. These photos capture just a few moments from the journey of Liliana Penagos @pendejaporpeppers mural outside of the @thecocacolaco headquarters. From planning to production to the unveiling, this project wouldn’t be possible without this incredible team, support from 250 volunteers, @cityofatlantaga and @keepamericabeautiful. We look forward to sharing all of the completed murals, sharing the artist’s stories, and most importantly, to your stories of how these projects shape your experiences with Atlanta. For visitors and residents alike, these are a love letter from Atlanta artists to you! Living Walls is taking 2 weeks for a much needed social media break. We’ll have far more to share when we return, but in the meantime, bask in these labors of love, uplift the artists, take photos, share your experiences with the artwork, and keep dreaming up an even more vibrant and thriving future! featured mural by @pendejaporpeppers 📍North Ave NW & State St NW 📸 @aparrilla3000 💙 LW

@nnekkaa_ returns! 💕 We are so excited to work with Neka King for a mural on these massive columns under I-20. A long time resident of Atlanta, Neka spent the past few years in Texas but left her mark via various signature artworks throughout the city. We welcome Neka back to Atlanta with her largest mural to date, an homage to the West End, and how beauty, like nature, grows through the cracks. A huge undertaking that wouldn’t be possible without the team! @artbyayshapen @dowelltrey @artist_inus @solomonroller 🎥 @aparrilla3000 💕

We did a little tour of our murals in progress 💙 It’s been a while since we’ve done this many projects at once. With over 30 artists across 6 sites, these teams have navigated challenges with so much grace, from crazy weather to the complexities of the walls. This is all part of a larger initiative by the @cityofatlantaga, pouring into the arts and the streets. We’re advocating for this investment to continue far into the future, and sharing a glimpse into the reality of this work. Led by Living Walls Creative Director Tatiana Bell (@pppeeewwweee) and Executive Director Monica Campana (@monicaxcampana), our guests learned a bit about the artists, our overall vision, processes, constraints, budget realities, maintenance, and nuances of bringing work like this to life. Thank you to @thegoatfarm for being our trusty home base and to @emeraldcitybagels for feeding our artists and guests! Thank YOU for supporting our work and these artists along the way! @charitymadeit @brianna.gardocki @meredithannewhite @kashreward @pendejaporpeppers @nnekkaa_ 📸 @aparrilla3000 💙

Nicole Merizalde @zaldepaints has been working on a long awaited mural in Dunwoody, GA for @stagedoortheatrega at Dunwoody Cultural Arts Center 💙 “Anatomy of a Dream” captures all of the magic of theatre from the actors, to the lights, costumes, and emotion. Nicole has created something beautiful as a welcoming image into the cultural center. Join us next Monday, June 1 @ 1pm to unveil this work and celebrate @zaldepaints and her biggest mural to date!

@kashreward & the worlds she creates for you 💖 On top of her years of mural and sign painting work, Ash’s personal practice has deeply surrounded painting on mirrors as a form of building a powerful relationship with the self. On these walls, tunnels, and archways, she brings that practice into public, creating portals as reminders of the infinite opportunities ahead. s/o to the incredible team: @dearalphabet @mkeedesigns @pato.paints 🎥 @aparrilla3000 📍 Northside Dr & 17th St 💖

@brianna.gardocki just finished downtown’s newest addition to the skyline 🩷 The mural includes a subtle MARTA reference as a visual metaphor for Atlanta itself: diverse, energetic, and always moving forward. Through the train’s windows, viewers catch glimpses of different people, personalities, and cultural references that reflect the city’s identity, and everyday moments that make the city feel alive. We hope you can see a bit of yourself in the scene. Thanks to the @cityofatlantaga and @southdowntownatl for investing in this city and our artists through commissioning public art.

Meet the (baby) Living Walls team! Monica Campana (@monicaxcampana) co-founded the organization and has been leading our initiative to create large, beautiful works of public art in Atlanta and beyond since 2010. Tatiana Bell (@pppeeewwweee) is our Creative Director, leading our creative, communications, and facilitating engagement between artists and the communities we serve since 2021. Angela Bortone (@angela_bortone) has worked with Living Walls since 2019 as an artist, site manager, and assistant, and now serves as our Project Manager, leading the production on all of all of our projects. We are a team of artists supporting artists, doing it all to make our inner children proud! 💙

How are we imagining our way through this? Now more than ever, we are prompted to dream. Not only as something that lives in our minds, but that we can act on towards the future we want to see. We dream our wildest dreams, and we take baby steps toward that future. In our Dream Zine, we prompted artists to respond to the prompt “What’s your dream for our future?” Swipe to see @monicaxcampana’s response. Living Walls started as a dream that Monica committed to bringing to reality, and 15 years later, it’s turned into a platform for artists to bring their own wildest dreams to life. A better world is possible.

Have you driven past our newest mural in Scottdale, GA? Many people wonder about the significance of the figures, the most prominent being local matriarch and legacy–Tobie Kendall Grant. Tobie Grant was a renowned African American community leader, businesswoman, spiritual advisor, and philanthropist in Scottdale. Her legacy is best seen through the land she donated and the institutions she helped establish for Black families in Scottdale. In 1960, Grant donated approximately 40 acres of land specifically for community use: a recreation center, park space, and public library for local children and families. These amenities were especially important at a time when public resources for Black neighborhoods were far more limited. The area and many facilities continue to carry her name–including the Tobie Grant Recreational Center, the site of our mural unveiling and many other community gatherings. Alongside prominent historical figures, @ncarlosj’s mural depicts multiple generations of Scottdale, including children as the bright future of the community. 📍E Ponce de Leon & N Decatur Rd production team: @ncarlosj @angela_bortone @zaldepaints @kashreward @chuga.headaches �🎥 @portraitsbyisadora 💙
