Drab metro public housing transformed by art project

A block of public housing apartments in the working-class Miravalle neighborhood of Guadalajara has been transformed into a colorful artwork following four months of hard graft by local residents.

It required 1,900 liters of paint to finish the murals, which cover 900 square meters of the building. The work is the first stage of a project called “Arte en tu Ciudad” (Art in your City), a project that seeks to involve locals in the betterment of their barrios.
