Mural Project Promotes Unity and Support for Migrant Women

Florencia Durán Ita, an artist from Montevideo, Uruguay, is currently in Montreal collaborating with a group of six women artists from various parts of Latin America on a significant mural that sends a message of unity and support for migrant women. This initiative is inspired by the methodology of classical Latin American muralism, utilizing traditional techniques that have been part of artistic culture for centuries. One of the main objectives of this mural is to make visible the phrase 'No one in the world is illegal', symbolizing a desire for universal peace and love. For Florencia, participating in this project is an honor, particularly as a mother and a Latin American woman, emphasizing the importance of supporting women in creative spaces. This mural not only represents public art but also aims to leave a powerful mark in spaces where art can be accessible and visible to all, celebrating female empowerment and solidarity across cultures.
