In our first episode, we explore how the Lansdowne Street Mural Project in Roanoke, Virginia uses art to address health equity and community safety. Dr. Simone Paterson, a local artist, shares her journey as part of an interdisciplinary team in creating a vibrant mural that has slowed traffic and increased pedestrian access to essential services. Dr. Melicent Miller talks with Simone about the project's collaborative nature, the importance of engaging artists in community-based initiatives, and the transformative impact of blending creative expression with public health objectives.
