ESPO's Fullbright Scholarship in Dublin

Stephen Powers (aka ESPO) received a Fullbright last year to go over to Dublin, Ireland for a public art project. The project description reads as follows:

Mr. Powers will combine his painting, writing, and publishing skills to collaborate with young adults aged 15 - 17 in Belfast's Shankill Road and Dublin's Fatima Mansion to create art work that will depict their lives and times and publish a magazine to share it with the public. According to Mr. Powers, "the Shankill Road and Fatima Mansions have the most incredible resources of rich histories, enduring legacies and resolute personalities that I have ever seen. I look forward to teaching the youth how to convert those resources into work for a lifetime."

He's been there for the last month working, beautifying the streets in ways only he could! Above is some evidence.
