Mis Abuelos Me contaron

Mis abuelos me contaron by Colectivo Cheraní brings memory, ancestry, and ritual into the street through a striking symbolic language. Set against a vivid pink background, the mural centers on an elder, haloed figure whose gaze feels both protective and unsettling, while surrounding elements evoke fire, animals, transformation, and oral tradition. The piece carries the sense of a story passed down through generations—one that holds both warning and wisdom.

Created by Colectivo Cheraní from Michoacán, this mural was painted for Horizontes Mexicanos and curated by Artery, adding another layer of context to its presence in La Veleta. More than a standalone image, the work feels like a bridge between community memory, indigenous symbolism, and contemporary muralism in Tulum.
