A mural programme in San Antonio

While I was in Texas last week I visited a very interesting mural project in San Antonio.

These are two of the most recent murals and they are on the back of walls in a handball court.  They are murals with a message and the message is about health, sport and respect for the human body.

In the housing estate nearby there are other older murals, reflecting aspects of the cultural tradition of the community, which is largely Hispanic.  It was said to us that this was a way of helping the community to learn about and understand their history and traditions.
