Community mural at Ocupacao Britanite

Javier coordinated a 32 m² mural in an urban occupation in Tatuquara, made by community members with the collaboration of the Mosaico La Esperanza group. The mural was later destroyed after repossession.

Collective work in Tatuquara

The importance of this mural lies both in its scale and in how it was made: a collective work in a territory marked by housing struggle, industrial memory and urban conflict.

The public sources used by the site only reinforce the context already present in the testimony: Ocupacao Britanite in Tatuquara and the memory of the former Britanite explosives factory in the area.
