Fighting Poverty

Acrylic Spray Paint on Wall

Wheatsville Co-Op, Austin, TX

Posterized mural of two cacao farmers with text "Fighting poverty one farmer at a time"

Commissioned by Fairtrade America as part of a nationwide campaign to raise awareness for farmer partners and cooperatives who align with and promote the Fairtrade ethos, I chose to depict three female farmers who are leaders in their communities and work in the Tony's Chocolonely brand supply chain.
