Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin and members of advocacy groups that promote breast cancer awareness unveiled a mural on Tuesday that honors breast cancer survivors.

The mural is on display on the second floor of Birmingham City Hall, 710 20th St. North, through Dec. 1, on weekdays during office hours.

“Women on the Journey” features several canvases painted by artist Jamie Bonfiglio to represent women of all backgrounds who have been affected by breast cancer. The mural was commissioned by V.I.R.T.U.E. Inc., a non-profit organization that raises awareness of breast cancer and women’s health.

“Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a time for reflection, education, and support, and this mural is a testament to the strength and unity of our community,” said Woodfin, who helped unveil the canvases along with Dee Green, founder of VIRTUE Inc.

“This mural project is a fresh way to continue our mission of awareness,” Green said. “It beautifully captures the essence of women touched by this disease. I cannot thank artist Jamie enough for her care in creating this amazing piece.”

Bonfiglio recently painted a mural of the Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth on the Legal Services building in downtown Birmingham.

“The inspiration behind the breast cancer awareness mural is a desire to celebrate the strength and resilience of women,” Bonfiglio said. “The vibrant colors and varied depictions serve as a testament to the beauty and power found within the tapestry of human experiences. This mural is a visual ode to the unwavering spirit of women, reminding us that together, we stand stronger against the challenges that breast cancer presents.”

Throughout the month of October, the City of Birmingham has been promoting awareness and education about breast cancer.

“Breast cancer affects not only individuals but also entire communities,” Woodfin said. “It’s crucial for our 3,500 employees to pause and engage in discussions about breast cancer awareness, prevention, and support for those facing this challenge.”

In addition to the breast cancer mural, the exhibit features two other paintings and a narrative by two survivors. For more information about the mural project, go to birminghamal.gov/virtue.
