Muro 12 Streetartcancun

The side of the building on Avenida Tulum is dominated by a mural of a massive, colorful parrot wearing a pair of headphones. This piece is part of the Sea Walls project, an initiative that brings together artists from across the globe to paint large-scale works focused on ocean conservation. Instead of traditional street art, these walls serve as visual arguments about plastic pollution and marine life. A local activist group coordinated the painting here in two thousand seventeen to spark conversations among residents.
