PHILADELPHIA—Candy Chang’s public art pieces more than please the eye. They demand dialogue and encourage conversations. Her best-known project, “Before I die,'' was duplicated in 1,000 cities in 70 countries as thousands of people chalked their hopes and dreams on walls and fences.
Her latest work, unveiled in Philadelphia recently, is an interactive mural that invites people to think of their biggest challenges and then use the mural to find guidance to move forward.
