Completed earlier this summer, this 12 storey tall mural in downtown DC's eastern end is one in a series to address the issue of global hunger.
Lola Goce is a Spanish artist with works all over the world. Goce completed this mural weeks ago to aid in bringing awareness to the issue of global hunger under the asupices of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP). Zero Hunger is also theme of the WFP intiiative.
In the DC mural, Goce was inspired by women who provide food to their families & communities, especially women who are food entrepreneurs and farmers.
The canvas is very unique but utilitarian structure: an air vent shaft for the underground portion of interstate 395 which runs in a tunnel beneath 3rd Street NW.
Additional murals are already or will be painted in Houston, Oakland, Battle Creek MI, New Orleans, and New York. The DC mural is located at the corner of 3rd and H Streets NW.
