We learn about a project by Houston street artist DUAL to design a mural for the west wall at The Printing Museum on W. Clay Street in Montrose.

The mural, called Changing Worlds, incorporates Arabic script, calligraphy and historic English typestyles and also refers to printing technology.

The project hopes to bridge the divide between languages and communities. It was unveiled at a block party on July 25.

For a televised profile of this project including interviews with DUAL and a museum curator, watch Arts InSight on Thursday August 28 at 7 p.m. on Houston Public Media, TV 8.
