NODAPL Mural
An exquisite mural; a compicated issue.
The mural "NODAPL" is painted on a wall of Greenbriar Foods, a supplier to organizations of snack foods and candies that will be sold in fundraising events. It is located at the intersection of Orleans and Division Streets in the Detroit Eastern Market area.
NODAPL refers to the Dakota Access Pipeline, which is designed to carry oil from America's northern border (North Dakota) to its southern border (Texas), where it will be refined. The project is controversial and complicated. President Obama stalled the project to the delight of environmentalists and Native Americans whose lands it crossed. President Trump reinstated approval for the project.
The artist, "Sintex", is a well-known and accomplished contemporary artist who once became controversial himself, by painting over another artist's mural.
11-24-17 UPDATE: A pipeline in this region allowed a leak 220,000 gallons of oil, exactly what protesters feared would happen.
