A Small & Mighty Truth by Cleo Wade

Renowned best-selling author and poet Cleo Wade has chosen Boston Seaport as the location for her first concepted and designed mural installation, “A Small & Mighty Truth.” Prominently situated at the intersection of I-90 and Congress Street, adjacent to the new 400 Summer Street building, Wade’s mural serves as a captivating gateway to the Seaport neighborhood. Its message, drawn from her latest anthology “Remember Love,” perfectly aligns with the area’s spirit of progress and embracing what’s new and next.

The 51” by 17” mural features a rainbow of painted letters that boldly proclaim, “Remember: Going through it is often how we get to the other side of it.” Wade’s poetic words offer a consoling, inspiring voice amidst the chaos of modern life, urging viewers feeling overwhelmed or lost to return to the essence of love, particularly self-love, as a guiding force.

“Whenever I create public art, my great hope is that it can be the message someone stumbles across, that holds them for a brief moment. We could all use a little support, a little love, in today’s world,” shares the celebrated author Cleo Wade.

Wade’s mural is a powerful addition to Boston Seaport’s rich collection of globally renowned public art installations.
