Bowdoin Muralist Captures Younger Students Hopes After being asked to decorate a drab study space for Waynflete School, Mohamed Kilani ’21 sent out a survey to some of its students to get a sense of what was on their minds. In the questionnaire, Kilani asked middle and high school students what they imagined for their future. Based on their feedback, he sketched out a mural with four hands spelling out the word love.

For the past few weeks, Kilani has been interning at Waynflete School, a private day school in Portland, Maine, both as a Spanish teaching assistant and as a visiting artist. He received a grant from the new Winter Break Community Engagement Fund established by the McKeen Center for the Common Good.
