Colores de la Cultura
Intro
The stunning San Marcos Street Mural, located on Block 2 (West Facade), facing San Marcos Street East Downtown Austin within the newly developed community of Plaza Saltillo . With a deceiving appearance in size, it stands 10 ft tall and stretches nearly a 100 ft wide with 20 windows built in. Not a project too big or complicated for the creative team of Carmen Rangel (muralist), Kimie Flores (muralist), Kris San (video), and Raasin McIntosh (producer) as they teamed up to bring this project to life!

Design Concept
Inspired by the culture and history within the East Austin community in a celebratory manner, the mesh of styles seamlessly complement each other, radiate strong female energy, with Latin & Afro Latino style. The bright colors and vibrant elements create a sense of excitement in hopes to spark curiosity.
