NETFLIX/ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK:

Can a fictional character elicit real change in thought and action?

Ahead of the fifth season premiere of Orange Is the New Black, we commissioned artists around the world to paint portraits of Samira Wiley’s character, fan-favorite Poussey Washington, whose upsetting death at the hands of a prison guard at the end of the fourth season sparked a prison riot (which drove the forthcoming season).

The murals were created by local artists who were fans of the show and were asked to bring their perspective to the beloved character. Each mural was emblazoned with the slogan “Stand Up,” and OITNB fans interacted with them in New York (Anthony Mast), Los Angeles (Tewsr), Toronto (Ness Lee), Melbourne (Elle), Sydney (Vexta), Chicago (Max Sansing), Detroit (Michelle Tanguay), and San Francisco (Amanda Lynn).
