Located at 1615 Dundas Street West (at Brock), this mural was painted to commemorate what would have been the 100th birthday of Violeta Parra- a Chilean composer, singer-songwriter, ethnomusicologist, and visual artist.
The mural depicts Violeta playing the guitar. Beside her there is a large hawk surrounded by flowers. The work features vibrant tones or green and blue.
Parra was a vocal advocate for indigenous peoples in Chile and was the first Latin American visual artist to have a solo exhibition at the Louvre in 1964. She passed away in 1967.
