A mural for Vista Hermosa
We supported the creation of an inspiring mural — because art is one of the most powerful statements we can make.
— Tribe + Lead-Up · Jocotenango, Guatemala
Painted by international muralist Chota from Comuna 13, Colombia, the mural sits at the heart of Vista Hermosa, Jocotenango — a marginalized neighborhood and home to many of the young people held up by Lead-Up.
It's part of Urban HeArt, the youth-led initiative where Lead-Up's young champions design and lead their own community-change projects. They run them. They co-ordinate them. They spear-head social change in their own hometowns — the kind that actually sticks because it's theirs.
The mural's message: non-violence, peace, unity. The kind of qualities we want to see more often in the world we are trying to build.
