Originally created in 2020 as a digital mural, it was compiled from more than 250 stencil portraits submitted by artists of all ages and skill levels from across the state and beyond. The work highlights a wide range of figures\u2014pioneers, activists, artists, scientists, and contemporary leaders\u2014making it a collective portrait of women\u2019s contributions, often overlooked in official histories.<\/p>\n<p>The completed digital mural, digitally assembled by Alex Johnstone, was printed onto nine weatherproof vinyl mesh banners, each measuring approximately 10&#8242; \u00d7 55&#8242;, and installed on the seven\u2011story east face of the Dinwoodey Building (Zions Bank building) in downtown Salt Lake City. After five years, the banners became dingy with dirt and the colors bleached by the sun, so Zions Bank decided to have the banners freshly printed and reinstalled. &#8220;I am so delighted that Zions Bank are doing that,&#8221; says Haworth.\u00a0 &#8220;The murals are all still working their silent protest.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The mural was later transformed into a physical collage installation at Salt Lake Community College expanding its visibility and allowing community members to engage with it in person.
