"There are a total of 48 banner designs, and all are part of a temporary public art project called "Mum's the Word,"reference to the aphasic's frustrating inability to communicate. Cambridge-based artist Ellen Driscoll turned herself into a translator, spending hundreds of hours over the last year with 11 volunteers from the Aphasia Community Group, which meets monthly at Boston’s Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital. The banners are on the Mass. Avenue, Western Avenue, and John F. Kennedy bridges across the Charles, through September, and at Boston’s City Hall Plaza through Monday."
