About:

Interview: I meet Raul in while standing in front of Dos Almas, but he says he does not want to be recorded. He's from Mexico and begins talking in Spanish and asks if i like the mural. He has lived in the neighborhood for 10 years and says he's seen the man who painted the mural and thinks he lives a couple if blocks away on Lexington ave, but can't remember his name or exactly where he lives. He tells me if I'm interested in murals from the neighborhood, I should look at the Che mural on 2nd and a 112th and the mural on 104th and Lexington ave. for which I assume he's speaking about "The Spirit of East Harlem"

Mural 1: 105th st. + 3rd ave. (Dos Alas)
