This
piece
is
a
street
art
mural
entitled
?
Homage
to
the
indigenous
woman
?
.
It
was
____________________
by
José
Gallino
in
October
2021
,
and
it
is
____________________
on
a
building
?
s
wall
on
Carabela
St
.
in
Brazo
Oriental
neighborhood
,
Montevideo
.
The
mural
was
____________________
by
Guyunusa
,
one
of
the
four
Charrúas
shipped
from
Uruguay
to
Paris
to
be
exhibited
as
living
objects
in
1833
.
It
is
a
____________________
portrait
,
done
in
a
very
realistic
____________________
.
It
is
30
meters
high
by
19
meters
wide
,
so
the
____________________
needed
to
employ
a
façade
scaffolding
to
be
able
to
paint
it
.
Gallino
used
aerosol
paint
on
a
black
background
,
which
focuses
the
viewer
?
s
attention
on
the
woman
?
s
face
in
the
center
of
the
piece
.
Around
Guyunusa
,
he
included
mburucuyá
and
ceibo
flowers
,
two
icons
of
our
native
flora
.
In
my
____________________
,
and
as
the
piece
title
says
,
Gallino
wanted
to
honor
all
native
women
by
representing
Guyunusa
,
one
of
the
most
well
-
known
Charrúa
women
.
He
depicts
her
as
a
young
woman
with
sad
eyes
,
surrounded
by
native
flowers
.

indigenous

are

beautiful
as
our
flora
