Isn’t it striking how art can transform a space and a message? Right here at Lomas station stands the Mural en contra de la violencia de género Ni Una Menos. It is a powerful statement against gender violence. This mural is more than just paint on a wall. It’s a visual representation of a movement. It’s a demand for change.
The Mural en contra de la violencia de género Ni Una Menos was created as part of activities marking another anniversary of Ni Una Menos. The Secretaría de Mujeres, Géneros y Diversidad del Municipio worked with Trenes Argentinos and the Ministerio de las Mujeres. They wanted to raise awareness about the fight against gender violence.
Local artists Victoria Guggiari and Ximena Lafuente painted the mural. They worked on a wall of the station. It faces República Árabe de Siria and Laprida streets. Victoria Guggiari said the goal was to highlight Ni Una Menos. The location is popular. Many working people pass through it daily. She noted it forces people to confront the issue.
The Mural en contra de la violencia de género Ni Una Menos features three main figures. One is a woman with her palm raised. This symbolizes the call to end male chauvinist violence. There is also an Afro-descendant person and a non-binary person. Ximena explained they wanted to represent diversity. She added murals change everyday spaces. They create a visual impact.
Victoria and Ximena have worked together since 2016. They have created murals in Lomas neighborhoods. Ximena emphasized the importance of recognizing women muralists. Victoria added art is work. The state supports it. This guarantees access as a right for everyone.
Many locals showed interest. Some stopped to talk with the artists. They congratulated them on the mural. Others watched closely as they painted. The Mural en contra de la violencia de género Ni Una Menos is a symbol. It stands for the ongoing fight against violence. It reminds us of the importance of diversity and inclusion.
