This is a picture of a large mural that says "Jovenes contra la violencia"(Youth against violence). These words are painted into the drawing of a loudspeaker over a backgrouns of blue, yellow, red and green boxes. At the bottom right we see a young child walking away from the camera. This mural is part of the programme ‘Decorando mi barrio’ (Decorating my Neighborhood) which seeks to paint over the gang graffitis.

  • Jovenes contra la Violencia’ (eng: Young People Against [the] Violence), started as a local initiative, “made up of young people for young people”, motivating young people to seek other pathways, than joining gangs. This mural is part of the programme ‘Decorando mi barrio’ (eng: Decorating my Neighborhood) which seeks to paint over the gang graffities, especially in this case on the walls of a school deeply within MS-13 territory.
