'What You See Is Not Who I Am' is a portable mural series that was created in 2014 by ArtWorks for Freedom in collaboration with Groundwell's Teen Empowerment Mural Apprentice Program. Lead artist Nicole Schulman and assistant artist Edwin Vazquez worked with 20 young students to research, design and create a 12-panel mural series on modern slavery. The 4ft by 4ft panels are suitable for indoor and outdoor display and have been installed at various locations, including Emory University, George Washington University and George State University. The students learnt about the global epidemic of human trafficking and hoped their work would raise awareness of this phenomenon. The young artist believed this series would inspire others to get involved in the fight against human trafficking and encourage people to report possible incidents of modern slavery. Several of the murals contain the National Human Trafficking Helpline and the final panel tells the public 'Don't close your eyes. Don't walk away'. It asks the public to call the helpline if they witness workers in certain conditions or situations – for example, if workers who live in poor conditions, seem afraid, never speak with you alone and provide scripted answers, bear signs of abuse, and are unpaid or paid very little. The sixth mural in the series appears above – here we have a kneeling woman scrubbing the floors whilst a silhouetted figure stands over her, with an arm raised in a threatening manner. This scene highlights the question in the fifth mural, where the viewer was asked ‘how many trafficked workers clean your neighbours’ home’. Behind the woman, we see the phrase ‘my rights washed away’ and the confined space make it appear as though the walls are closing in on her with little room for escape. When reflecting on the project, Raymond Reyes commented that ‘we tried to work using symbols that weren’t too clichéd’ and Maybelline Amaya said that ‘creating this mural was one of the enlightening moments of my life’. Dakota Storm Austin stated that she learned that ‘there is a struggle in each and every corner of this earth’ and Tobi Oniyindi remarked that everyone took this sensitive topic very seriously. The students who were involved are Daijean Aiken, Maybelline Amaya, Dakota Austin, Gustavo Bahena, Kaya Chou-Kudu, Treyshuon Dennis, Marcos Diaz, Juana Euceda, Kaianna Griffith, Nathaniel James, Rosaura Munoz, Stephanie Nan, Tobi Oniyinde, Kyziom Phuntsok, Raymond Reyes, Dustin Chang, Ify Chiejina and Clement Romans.

The seventh mural in the series appears above – here we have an abstract image of a pair of eyes in front of a factory. The phrase in the centre is covering what appear to be drops of blood and the tired, drawn eyes look to the viewer. The fact that we can only see the person’s eyes, and not the rest of their face, stresses the fact that survivors are often hidden by their enslavement.

The eight mural in the series appears above – here we have the National Human Trafficking Hotline with options to call or text to report suspected slavery. The phrase highlights the workers who are enslaved in the previous panels, namely the domestic or factory workers. This stresses that people are enslaved in multiple ways and can be right under our noses. The two doves symbolise hope and show that using this hotline can bring hope to a worker. When reflecting on the project, Raymond Reyes commented that ‘we tried to work using symbols that weren’t too clichéd’ and Maybelline Amaya said that ‘creating this mural was one of the enlightening moments of my life’.

The ninth mural in the series appears above – here we have an emphasis on the enslavement of agricultural workers. President Abraham Lincoln is depicted in the centre of a coin, with the phrase ‘trafficked workers are paid 2 pennies per pound’ highlighting how little some people in this industry are paid. The cracked stopwatch shows that many workers feel their situation is endless and time ticks on for these people if the public do nothing. This is heightened by the fact that Lincoln has a blindfold over his eyes, showing that if the public turn a blind eye to modern slavery then it will continue to occur. The question ‘who will emancipate them’ places responsibility on the viewer and calls them to action. When reflecting on the project, Raymond Reyes commented that ‘we tried to work using symbols that weren’t too clichéd’ and Maybelline Amaya said that ‘creating this mural was one of the enlightening moments of my life’.

The End Child Slavery Week partner CTERA (The Confederation of Education Workers of the Argentine Republic) created this mural in a remote Argentinian village in the Mendoza region to raise awareness of child slavery and child labour. They worked with teachers and students from 8417 Rubén Darío School to create the piece and educate about the importance of education to the eradication of modern slavery and child labour. The mural shows children enjoying their childhood and gaining an education, rather than being forced to work.

This mural is part of the 'You Are Loved' mural project that works with schools, worship groups, artists, businesses and organisations to create community murals. It was created as a result of the sharp increase in human trafficking cases crossing the federal prosector's desk. Since 1997 Alex Cook as created over 150 murals internationally and the project focuses on spreading 5 messages;- You are loved- You are needed- You are important- You are beautiul- You can do itThis project brings together communities and people of all different ages and drives to bridge divides to spread these messages. This mural is in Church Street Marketplace, a business improvement district that has been named one of great public spaces in USA and declared a national historic district.
