Shalak Attack Fiya Bruxa Replacement Mural
“NEVER GIVE UP! NI UNA MENOS” by @shalakattack and her sister @fiyabruxa
This is a replacement mural. I never realized their history with this particular wall. This is the third mural by them at this same spot over the last 5 years. Reading on her account — she says the original mural was defaced and the one that replaced it was called “Angry Witches”. (I really loved that Witches mural btw).
I had no idea that the Witches mural was about the “empowerment for young girls and women everywhere”. A vigil was held at this location earlier this year she says for 40 women who were victims of fire at a women’s shelter in Guatemala. Unfortunately, that mural was defaced about a month ago.
I’ll quote from her account “So here we are at out latest creation dedicated to the rebirth of the women spirit not letting herself be erased but boldy echanting this world with Truth and LOVE. We will not stay quiet. BRUXAS NEVER GIVE UP! NI UNA MENOS. For all of our voices united against Violence against Women Everywhere”.
People including myself don’t realize that a lot of the art that we see… it has so much meaning behind it. You see a mural on the street & you take a picture & most of the time …. that’s it. We don’t appreciate how much time and effort goes into these works of art.
Thank you Shalak Attack for explaining this mural. Its even more powerful now.
Here is the photo of the second mural “Angry Witches” that the new one replaced.
