Originally painted in 1976 and restored in 2003, Tilt (Together Protect the Community), is one of the most reproduced murals in Chicago. The mural is thematically divided into two sections: on the southern half of the mural, figures are seen encircling homes and residents in a protective embrace; on the northern half, forces seen as threatening to community life are depicted with diagonal movements and abrupt juxtapositions. Because the mural faces west, it began to fade noticeably in the decades since its original creation and in 2003, the original muralist, John Pitman Weber, led a restoration with the assistance of Kristal Pacheco and Damon Reed.
