El Salvador Murals in Ataco (2010)

 

 

 

Campos Art Group and the Embassy of the United States in El Salvador, along with the mayor of Concepcion de Ataco have titled “Murales para el Desarrollo, pintando mi municipio,” (“Painting my community with Murals for Cultural Tourism.”)

Judy Baca and her SPARC team has been invited to assist in the production of the murals in Ataco’s pueblo that will spread and increase awareness of the new developments of the century, emphasizing topics like the changes in our climate and how to take care of our surrounding environment.

Themes we were asked to focus on:

1. Global warming (the principal theme)

2. Violence prevention and peaceful social coexistence in Ataco

3. The Salvadorean rights to protect youth and children

4. Gender equality

5. Development of citizens’ responsibility

Artists selected to go:

 Raul Gonzalez, Carlos Callejo, Judy Baca, Pilar Castillo, Carlos Rogel


 

 Central America, bordering the North Pacific Ocean, between Guatemala and Honduras
