on a giant scale,
the government of Mexico recently collaborated with a group
of local street artists called Germen Crew to paint a 20,000 square meter mural
across the facades of 209 homes in the district of Palmitas in Pachuca, Mexico,
before the crew arrived the hillside town looked like this above,
the project was intended to bring about visual and social
transformation by temporarily providing jobs, above the finished town after the
crew left,
also according to some reports, a by-product of the project
in some way reduced crime and violence in the neighbourhood, perhaps by
fostering community spirit? in any event street art on a grand scale.
