Monday Mural: Trust your struggle on Houldsworth St

The Trust Your Struggle Collective is an artistic grouping of visual artists, educators, and cultural workers including Mister Bouncer and Shaun Burner. Since 2003 they have been based in the San Francisco Bay Area and New York City (lucky things!) but have ventured as far eastwards as here in north-west England. I also featured their commissioned work on a Cornerhouse wall, (which I think has sadly now gone) back in April.

Linked to Monday Mural, itself coming to you from the San Francisco Bay Area, in Oakland.

Posting a photo of this mural in the northern reaches of the Northern Quarter seemed somehow suitably slightly spooky for Halloween week. It’s a thought-provoking mural. I also like the reuse of the wall, breathing new life into the space where windows once were but are now bricked up and painted.

A great name too, and I will take that on board as a personal mantra- People around the world, trust your struggle!
