Artist José Di Gregorio completed these murals for Helsinki Urban Art and Museum of Impossible Forms on May 26, 2017. They are located at Ratavartijankatu 2, in the Pasila district of Helsinki, Finland.
The mural depicts two women whose lives and work are connected to activism, migration, and cultural engagement. On the left is Peruvian poet and cultural activist Roxana Crisologo Correa; the other portrait depicts an Iranian activist Azzie Youssefi.
José Di Gregorio described the work as portraying “two strong, inspiring, incredible women bridging together from the still of nothingness to the pulse of vibrancy.”
The project was organized by Raine Vasquez. Photographs are from José Di Gregorio’s Facebook page.
