For her latest public art installation, Art + Design faculty Sophia Ainslie and a group of Northeastern students transformed a shipping container by Boston City Hall into a vibrant mural, as part of Boston’s annual HUBweek, where “Art, Science and Technology Collide.”

“This was a great way to still feel connected to Northeastern, working alongside fellow students and one of my favorite professors,” said Fernanda Hurtado Ortiz, a fifth year Journalism student, who described how the installation helped her feel involved and in-touch with the Northeastern community as she completes her final co-op. “All of us who joined together to assist Sophia are of different majors and have busy lives, especially on the weekend,” she continued, “but you could feel that no one wanted to be anywhere else.”

Ainslie was one of ten artists selected to contribute to HUBweek’s shipping container art installation, entitled “HUBweek Walls.” Other artists featured included Okuda San Miguel, Sneha Shrestha, and Boston’s own Silvia Lopez Chavez, who recently created a beautiful mural on Northeastern’s campus.
