Through murals, public art, and community-engaged design, artist Georgie Nakima explores how art can deepen our relationship to the environments we inhabit seeking to create spaces of reflection, connection and belonging. This presentation will examine how natural ecosystems, local histories, cultural traditions, and community stories influence the creation of public artwork.

Georgie Nakima, a multidisciplinary artist, is a native New Bernian now based in Charlotte, NC. Georgie has completed more than 70 public art projects across the United States, including the World Trade Center, the City of Boston, and the City of Raleigh, to name a few. Downtown New Bern proudly boasts two Georgie Nakima murals, one on Broad Street titled, "It Takes a Village" and another on South Front Street titled "Hate Cannot Drive Out Hate, Only Love Can".
