"VOTA MI GENTE, Latinos for Obama" Mural on Hope Street by Michelle Angela Ortiz 2008
2728 Hope Street, Philadelphia
The Obama Campaign in the Latino community asked me to create a mural of Obama to encourage the Latino community to vote. I created this 30' mural in four days, guerrilla muraling, with the help of fellow Galla Julia Lopez, Dolio Durant, Ivan Henderson, Rafael Zapata , Andreina Castillo and volunteers from the community of HOPE Street in Philadelphia.
This project was definitely a collaborative project. More than 50 volunteers helped paint and clean the abandoned lot where there mural is painted. What a great joy it was for all of us to see Barack Obama become the president-elect. This mural is a documentation of this historic moment.
