This mural, created by Mariela Ajras of Buenos Aires in 2019, is a donation of the Inter-American Development Bank to commemorate their 60th Anniversary. The image of a Latin creole/mestizo empowered woman looks towards the future. The woman is duplicated, addressing the idea that she looks from the past and at the same time, constructs her future. Behind her, there is a rising sun created in golden paint which reflects brightly on the wall’s surface. The women’s fabric patterns create an optical illusion and a geometric contemporary feeling. The mural expresses the vibrant spirit of the Latin American aesthetics incorporated with colorful Latin American textile designs.

We just came across this mural while looking for something else. I couldn’t remember where it had been but was able to trace it through the artist’s name on the wall. I’ve started to go back to some of the older pictures in this gallery and add information about them when I can find it as I realized most of them have titles, artist names and stories behind them. Just sometimes they're just hard to find!

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.
