JAMAICA PLAIN, MA — The Jamaica Plain Branch of the Boston Public Library, in partnership with the Friends of the Jamaica Plain Library, is proud to announce a new site-specific installation by Boston-based artist Liliana Marquez, also known as Lilimarq.

In December 2024, the library issued a call for artist proposals to create a permanent artwork commemorating the library’s renovation and reopening in 2017. Submissions were reviewed by a selection committee made up of library staff and members of the Friends of the Library. Liliana Marquez was selected for her bold and imaginative vision, as well as her deep ties to the local community.

Liliana’s work, titled Wonderlines, incorporates fragments of the ribbon from the library’s original reopening ceremony. The piece reflects her signature "REPOP ART" style—transforming reclaimed materials into colorful, multidimensional works that explore memory, place, and transformation.
