Chalk Riot is a women-led mural company in Washington, D.C. that specializes in vibrant ground murals, laying emphasis on community engagement and social change. With hundreds of projects both nationally and internationally, they confront gender disparities in public art, where women face significant underrepresentation. Their initiatives go beyond traditional art functions by promoting social issues like safety, climate change, and equality. They empower young voices through their 'Chalk Your Voice' toolkit, fostering creativity and activism in communities, effectively transforming public spaces into platforms for expression and change.
Years ago, we needed street safety signs in a pinch. All they had at the store was "men working" signs. So we scrawled a WO- to the front of it, and made it into a "women working" sign.
Chalk Riot doesn't just paint pretty walls. They create pieces with purpose. Their murals address safe streets, LGBTQ+ rights, racial justice, climate change, and more.
