Remove the Skin
Mural "Remove the Skin" by Ecuadorian artist Jairo Mena Herrera and Francisco Maturana from Chili at Constant de Jongstraat 62 in Antwerp
"For this mural, we discovered the center of Antwerp to collect a series of objects from different parts of the city. These objects do not refer to the history of the city. Our idea was always to value the diversity of cultures and nationalities that live together in the city. We have been inspired by the compositions of traditional Flemish painting.": shares the artist.
The mural shows a domestic scene where objects and products from different parts of the world come together. Products that are part of the home situations of Belgians and migrant Belgians. In this way we created a scene that shows how we live unnoticed with things that are made all over the world. Being aware of this can help us appreciate every person, regardless of their skin color, language, clothing,… and try to be more empathetic.”
