We are pleased to present our new mural in the main
patio of Casa CODENI. The mural represents the effort of CODENI to promote a
change of consciousness in the families who participate in CODENI to help them
overcome their dependence on the streets. The images come from two photographs
taken by Josh Meltzer, who was with CODENI on a Fulbright scholarship in
2008-2009.
The part under the stairs represents the work of
the families in the streets, while the part above the stairs reflects their
great efforts to better their lives and accomplish their dreams through
education.
The painting was made possible with the direction
and collaboration of locally renowned artist, César Plasencia, who accompanied
three adolescents who participate in CODENI’s artistic expression workshop:
Mariana Miguel, Marco Almaguer and Lorenzo Juárez. Educator Diego Ayala, who
leads the course, coordinated the project.
The mural was produced by mixing techniques of
acrylic and spray painting on a pencil sketch.
