Compromising is Key is a ceramic tile mural created by youth from the Zenith Girls Home working with Inglewood artist Michael Massenburg. Youth using creative action worked with adults, institutions and agencies, to create a colorful artwork representing the diverse cultures of Inglewood. It is permanently installed at the ground level of City Hall.
This mural, and others in this series, arose from the Inglewood Youth Plan, adopted in 1999 by the City. The introduction states: “Inglewood youth have a lot of ideas. They want to be part of making Inglewood a safe, healthy, nurturing place for youth and families. Inglewood youth want to be more involved in improving the conditions of Inglewood for the present and the future. Inglewood Youth want more than token responsibility."
