Finally some examples of beautiful street art on Indymedia. congratulations to everyone involved. There is just no comparison between this and the usual sloganeering rubbish that is normally posted as 'art' here.
"all different, all equal"
this is a 7 minute interview
http://radio.indymedia.org/uploads/muralismo.wav
between imc-dunk, micelle whooley from mayfield arts centre, julio from nicuraqua who is now a tutor and been invovled with muralismo since he was 9, michelle from mayfield who was very emotional after the end of the process. most people were covered in paint, signatures on t-shirts, tears and smiles
4 nicuraquans travelled over to ireland 10 days ago, they worked with the children in mayfield and then came up to dublin with about 30 people from cork to dublin for this special event.
they painted a 40 foot mural on panels which were demouned and taken back to cork where they will be hung in bodegas pub untill a more permanent home can be found for the mural
this project is leading into a bigger one with cork being 2005`s city of culture
"all different, all equal" was the theme
there was a lot of colour, a lot of hugging, crying, laughing, final goodbyes.
the team have been working for 3 weeks on this, consensus is reached between the group, no ones ideas are rejected, the children have to work out what they want to say through the medium of the mural
i am very sorry i got out so late- i hope the specialness of this process comes through in the short interview and i hope that more of this muralismo appears all over the world

Young people from Community Arts Projects in four countries will exchange and explore themes related to identity and equality throughout 2005.
As part of its broader aims of facilitating access and participation in the arts for young people, Mayfield Community Arts Centre will host four young artists from Funarte, Brazil to collaborate with young people in painting murals and creating a resource pack to facilitate schools and youth groups exploring equality issues through peer education.
In July 2005 a three week, youth-art residency with participants from four partner countries will result in the production of a series of collaborative art projects/events, with a public bus touring the work at the close of the project.
and a link to history of muralismo and the sandinistas revolución in the 1980's
