Artist’s Role: Hepner ran three light-painting workshops at the Beechview Healthy Active Living Center where portraits of the community were created light-painting and real-time projection. At the conclusion of the community workshops, Hepner used the light painting projections of the intergenerational art-making, which were saved as videos to be used as source material, to create a series of 5 façade murals for the building.
