Mural Histórico – Primaria “Lázaro Cárdenas” de Río Grande.
In the first sessions, ideas about the history of Mexico and how they do not feel identified with the official history were discussed, since they feel it does not represent them. After a brainstorm, the elements that the students considered pertinent to appear on the mural were listed. In the following sessions, the British artist encouraged the participants to draw and paint a mural that spoke of their country. At the end of the mural, all participants signed their names. All the images poured in the final piece were selected by the students and reflect their the conception of the history of Mexico and the current conditions they live in.
