SWOON completed a mural in Detroit titled Monica, located at 500 Woodward in Downtown Detroit. Swoon aims to capture the essence of whomever she is portraying, with the hopes it will be a visual cue into her subjects’ lived experience. The work was completed by Curry in collaboration with a number of local artists. Swoon began her career as a street artist, but quickly leapfrogged to the attention of gallerists and museum curators, which let her expand to installation and performance art, often with an activist, progressive bent. Her intricate paper-cut portraits and cityscapes, often affixed to walls in hardscrabble places, are meant to disintegrate in place, a refrain to the life around them.

Additionally, SWOON and Detroit artist Baba Wayne collaborated on a mural located at 14635 East Jefferson in the Jefferson-Chalmers neighborhood in Detroit. The community initiative was presented by the Detroit Institute of Arts and Library Street Collective.
