Somewhere over the rainbow is a Mexican village with an astounding colorful mural #GermenCrew

As Street Art group, Germen Crew and the government of Mexico joined forces to beautify the district of Palmitas in Pachuca in Mexico. The painting aims to unify the community, extending over 200,000 square feet and connecting more than 200 houses. According to the site, “El Macro Mural Barrio de Palmitas” created jobs and helped reduce youth violence during its construction. What do you think about that?

The Germen Crew wanted to bring beauty to an area that was lacking color, and show how public art can make a positive social impact.
