Goa's Mapusa Mural Project: Ceramic Art Depicts Past, Present, Future
Imagine a giant picture coming to life in Mapusa, Goa!
It's a super cool mural called the Mapusa Mogi Mural, meaning 'Lover' in the local language.
This artwork, made of special materials that last, will be a long picture showing the town's stories and dreams.
It’s near a church and the river, where the town's markets used to be.
Artists are working hard, using drawings and special 3D pieces.
They’re also talking to people in town to learn what they want the picture to show.
It's all about remembering the past, seeing what’s happening now, and thinking about the future of this special place.
A monumental ceramic mural project, 'Mapusa Mogi Mural,' is underway in Mapusa, Goa.
The 100-meter-long mural will be located near St. Jerome’s Church, overlooking the Mapusa River.
