Murals for Social Change
Part of our work includes outreach to members of community and education through the arts. Through our murals, we are able to transmit ideas about environmental protection, celebration of Nicaraguan culture and identity, the promotion of a culture of peace, promotion of human rights and women's rights, and other themes. Below are a few of the murals youth from Ciudad Sandino have designed and painted in recent years.

We painted this mural in October, 2009 to promote active citizenship. It was sadly erased a few months later by a company and replaced by an advertising mural. Since that time, we've been working with the mayor's office to have murals painted in Ciudad Sandino protected as municipal patrimony
