The artwork plays tribute to the Dominican community in Washington, D.C., highlighting its history, culture, and legacy. It features two prominent figures:
Casilda Luna, a renowned social activist who dedicated her life to supporting the Latino communities, helping families to secure housing and access essential resources.
Daniel Bueno, a music entrepreneur and cultural promoter who uplifted numerous artists and worked tirelessly to advance the diversity of the Latino cultures in Washington, DC.
With its vibrant colors and symbolic elements—such as the tambora, cayenne flowers, and butterflies, which represent the Mirabal sisters and their fight for freedom—the mural celebrates Dominican identity and its resilient spirit.
This initiative was made possible through the dedication and leadership of Eduardo Perdomo, Director of Mayor Muriel Bowser's Office on Latino Affairs (MOLA), Sonia Guzmán, Ambassador to the Dominican Republic, and Carolina Mejía, Mayor of the National District of the Dominican Republic.
