Street Art in CDMX

"I've never believed in God. But I believe in Picasso."
- Diego Rivera

Mexico City is full of street art! The fascination with muralism started in Mexico in the 1920s, as part of an effort to unify the country and its people after the Mexican Revolution. The so-called "big three": Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco and David Alfaro Siqueiros headed the movement, adorning public buildings with social and political messages.
