Mural Rio de Janeiro
The city of Rio de Janeiro is home to the world’s largest graffiti mural. The mural, titled ‘Etnias’ or ‘Ethnicities’, was created by Brazilian street artist Eduardo Kobra specifically for the Olympic games. He made the mural on a 190-meter long wall. The resulting work stretches out across nearly 3,000 square meters, and revolves around the theme of togetherness.
RIO DE JANEIRO IS NOT only about paradise beaches and samba goddesses. It is also a city where street art is celebrated, and by walking 560 feet along Rio’s waterfront, you can appreciate the largest mural graffiti in world, a Guinness World Record accomplishment and a legacy of the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.
The work depicts a Tajapo boy from Brazil, a Mursi woman from Ethiopia, a Kayin woman from Thailand, a Supi man from Northern Europe, and a Huli man from Papua New Guinea. They represent humanity’s common ancestors, the indigenous people from America, Asia, Europe, Africa and Oceania.
