I drive by Houston street almost daily and noticed the new JR mural. Got used to seeing Kenny Scharf’s mural after a while. The new mural is a giant photo of a pair of eyes. The eyes belong to DJ Two Bears of Standing Rock Nation from the Dakotas. The mural is a part of the Inside Out Project. Watch video on the Inside Out Project after the jump.

INSIDE OUT is a large-scale participatory art project that transforms messages of personal identity into pieces of artistic work. Everyone is challenged to use black and white photographic portraits to discover, reveal and share the untold stories and images of people around the world. These digitally uploaded images will be made into posters and sent back to the project’s co-creators for them to exhibit in their own communities. People can participate as an individual or in a group; posters can be placed anywhere, from a solitary image in an office window to a wall of portraits on an abandoned building or a full stadium. These exhibitions will be documented, archived and viewable virtually.
