Roberto Chao
Roberto Chao develops community murals through collaborative design and painting. Boston’s account of Afro-Latin Music and Dance describes work with Hyde Square Task Force, local youth and residents at Mozart Park in Jamaica Plain. Installed in 2022, the mural uses painted PVC panels and imagery connecting Africa, the Caribbean and the Americas through music, dance and cultural history. At Roxbury Community College, Chao led An Ode to Africa in the Americas, unveiled in November 2023. More than two dozen Black and Brown artists contributed to that project, painting aluminum-composite panels along an outdoor campus walkway. These projects document a community-led approach to civic and educational settings. The individual profile credits Chao’s leadership while retaining collective authorship; current studio location and commission availability remain unverified.
