Description
This painting, one of many, covered the exterior wall of the Instituto Cultural Oaxaca (ICO) where I learned Spanish. This wall lines a major thoroughfare, so young artists in the city, fresh from the 2006 revolution, painted their hearts out here. The property of the Institute is a tiny portion of the giant hacienda that was broken up and given back to the people after the Mexican Revolution, and its upkeep is paid for by the language school, which is attended by many professionals from other countries, doctors, nurses, health care workers, and teachers.
