Megan Oldhues about the mural: “Women of the Favela” painted in acrylic. Favela is a Brazilian term used to describe low income neighborhood’s or shanty towns. It’s residents take great pride in their homes and communities. This piece sits directly across the street from a bus stop that many of the working women use every day. “This is Favela”, they would tell me.
