PERSPECTIVES: JARED HORMAN AND NIRVANA HOPE
Jared painted Chappell Roan on a building. Now that building is "the Chappell Roan building"—it's on Google Maps. That's what a mural can do: it doesn't just sit on a wall, it changes what a place is. Murals do real work. They tell stories, honor histories, and give a community's identity a home in public. And they make neighborhoods better to walk through—more vibrant, more alive, more eyes on the street. Walkable places are safer places, and murals are part of how you get there. Nirvana Hope is a playful blend of alternative-folk and pop-rock guitar layered with introspective, quirky, and honest lyrics; each song possessing its own story and soul. As her performance unfolds, listeners should expect to confront an array of emotions from nostalgia and grief, to confusion, uncertainty, quiet rage, closure, and hope.‘
