Off the Wall: the Power of Urban Wildlife Murals

When is a raccoon not just a raccoon? What can a dandelion teach us about changing the world? We talk with Evan Lovett of V.U.R.T. about their Philly Local Critter series of murals, including a pretzel-eating raccoon. We also hear from San Francisco-based, globe-trotting muralist Mona Caron, whose Weeds series teaches us about the power that even the humblest among us has to break through barriers.
