Homage to the heroes in white

Project title

Homenaje a los héroes de blanco

Description of initiative

This initiative seeks, through artistic interventions, to avoid aggressions and discriminatory actions towards workers in the health sector, and invites the people of Mexico to respect them, while paying tribute to them for their commitment to the population. Through the presentation of two murals, public and private sectors, as well as civil society organizations, launched the civic awareness strategy "Homage to the heroes in white", with the aim of promoting solidarity towards health personnel facing the pandemic. The officials believe that the results of this strategy will be a permanent tribute to the dedication of health personnel.
The artistic interventions were located on the roof of the Technical Secondary School number 41 "Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz" and in the Higher School of Nursing and Obstetrics of the National Polytechnic Institute, and are the works of the muralists Leo Monzoy and David Hernández (Dagoz).
