Midtown Indy: A Place We Call Home

Midtown Indy: A Place We Call Home

Mural - Temporary - Traffic Signal Box Art

 3802 N. Illinois St., Indianapolis, IN, 46208

The design of this traffic signal box is inspired by its location at 38th and Illinois, the point at which four distinct Indianapolis neighborhoods come together.  Historical and crowdsourced photographs from all four neighborhoods wrap around the box, with original photography by William Rasdell filling in the gaps. The message is that Midtown is a vibrant part of the city, filled with people who love where they live.

William “Bill” Rasdell is an Indianapolis-based photographer and digital artist whose work focuses on exploring the impact of the African diasporic presence worldwide.  He has photographed communities in (among others) Israel, Zimbabwe, Ghana, Cuba, Mexico, and Barbados as well as in the United States.
