Traditional midwives among lilies

Three figures sit among bamboo stalks and oversized lilies: a turbaned woman with braids and turquoise jewelry, a striped-shirted figure gesturing in conversation, and a seated woman in indigenous dress cradling a rabbit and offering a purple bloom. The mural honors traditional midwives (parteras).

Artist Statement

Mural created collectively with the artist Zequi, a volunteer in the Arte Ranchero Pandillero program, in commemoration of midwifery, since traditional midwifery is shared at the center for adolescents, commemorating May 5th, the International Day of Traditional Midwifery.
