 A mural project is now underway in Marsha Castries to commemorate the heroes of that area and draw awareness to their significant contribution to community development. Jesse Leos tells us more. Visual artist Gary Butte is busy transforming the empty outwalls of the Mindu Philip Park into an ode to outstanding citizens of the Marsha area. It is a mural project that depicts the likeness of these community heroes, ensuring that current and future generations know of their legacy. Butte listed some of those featured on what has now been dubbed the hero's wall. We have Alicia John, who is the principal in the JP in Marsha. We have Pan Andrew Shining, who has made this contribution in steel pan. We have Joyce Ogis, who is a cultural icon. She has done a lot in sports as well. We have Arnold Cloudon. Arnold Cloudon has done a lot in sports, in football, in coaching the younger generation. And I think that he should also get some kind of recognition. We also have James Belgrave, who is another one who has, in fact, James Belgrave has a court inside the Mindu Philip Park, that he made his own contribution to see that the sports fraternity develop back in those days. Through the visual aesthetic, murals are said to promote a sense of belonging and strengthen community identity. From the onset, there was engagement with Marsha residents on the figure's best suited for this recognition. This project has been going on for a period of about two months. It really started with conceptualizing, doing research, engaging the school. I must say that the Marsha Primary School has really been involved in the research with the teachers and students, getting information on the people of the community and getting a lot of feedback from the people as to who is best to be on the wall. Though incomplete, the hero's wall has already become a conversation starter with residents who are eager to learn more about the individuals being painted. The muralist hopes for versions of this type of commemoration to be recreated in other communities island-wide. I think it's something that can also be replicated in many other communities because I am very, very certain that a lot of communities have hidden heroes that people do not know of. The only way you can get to know about them is to put them out there. And this is why I will say it again that we have come up with that concept for people to recognize their heroes and see how much that they have contributed and how now the younger generation could follow that pattern. Meantime, the Marsha project is still in its first phase. An unveiling of the finished mural will be held upon its completion. This East Castries mural is the latest undertaking by Gary Butte, who has over 20 years of artistry under his belt. For the Government Information Service, I am Chassie-Léonce reporting.
