Language learning app startup Duolingo made headlines last week when it unveiled a new public mural and $150,000 in grants focused on “creating public artwork in Pittsburgh and supporting local artists and arts organizations.”
Today, we welcome John Tronsor, Facilities Manager at Duolingo, to give us more insight on the "To Be Human" mural and Duolingo's commitment to art in Pittsburgh.
Detroit-based artist Ann Lewis created the mural with students at the Barack Obama Academy of International Studies in East Liberty. A press release said the “mural’s colors and message are inspired by the student body’s ethos, creative collage making, and discussions centered on their perspective of community.”
