On the wall next to the entrance of The Table & Gallery, located at 1209 Chapel St., is the“Blue Vein Mural,” which encapsulates everything that the culinary and artistic space is all about.
The mural is made out of pages taken from two eighteenth- and nineteenth-century books on patriarchy and the oppression of women, covered by flowing blue shapes that recall water droplets flung into the air. An educational message is transformed into a work that evokes cleansing and freedom, as well as the idea of going with the flow.
The mural is the work of Sonal Soveni, a filmmaker, artist, entrepreneur, and founder and owner of The Table & Gallery.
