TEAM
Colectivo Moriviví was started by 8 high school classmates who wanted to create a mural together and made it happened. Now it has become an 8 year long journey. As young women we've grown in this wonderful space we created for ourselves. We've questioned our process, our structure, and we keep fighting to find new ways to make it as participatory as we can.
Meet the amazing women behind Moriviví!
