Together, the youth in Husby created the greatest collective mural in Sweden, named "My Home, My Image". The motif the young people painted was taken from the cellular phone theater Antigone's Diary, and shows the Greek choir led by Antigone, that met the audience when they came up at the station Husby after the metro journey that is part of the show. The mural is facing the elementary school Husbygårdsskolan, not far from the metro station in Husby.
Mural for social change in suburbs
The organization behind the art project is “Förorten i centrum”, a nonprofit organization that put the suburb in the center, and is working with community-based projects were collective murals for social change are created based on the residents' own stories and pictures of their environment. The collective art process challenge the prevailing usage and updates the image of the “suburb” and “center” in the public discourse.
