M&TC: Check out this amazing project!
The Germen Crew has teamed up with the government of Mexico to rehabilitate Palmitas, a town in the Pachuca district in Hidalgo. The group painted 209 houses, or twenty-thousand square meters of facade, into a single rainbow mural. According to Streetartnews, the impact has been extremely positive: 452 families, or 1808 people, were affected by this project, resulting in violence amongst youths being entirely eradicated. The group, whose name literally means “germ crew,” have made community involvement a priority, which could partially explain the good results.
