El Abrazo

Free to visit, outdoors, open any time.

During the development of the mural El Abrazo—which translates to “The Embrace” in Spanish—25th Ward residents offered concepts of immigration, migration, borders, agriculture and environment. Project Artists worked with five teenage apprentices—Natalie Alicea, Natalie Aparicio, Yazmin Jiminez, Jasmin Martinez, and Jocelyn Tlapa—to form the multigenerational team that painted the mural.
