LEGACY
by Bimbo Adenugba

Houston is always looking to improve, for today and tomorrow.

"Legacy" is a mural that focuses on the essential task before us in providing a sustainable planet to future generations. This mural was inspired by the 17 sustainable development goals (SD's) adopted by the United Nations, designed to provide a blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet now and into the future. Hear the United Nations Global Compact (UNG) tell you more about the SDG'S, in the app "Behind The Wall".

This mural, created by artist Bimbo Adenugba and curated by Street Art for Mankind (SAM), pays tribute to the legacy of native Americans in our region, featuring the daughter of a local indigenous tribe. The fireflies and roses symbolize hope and nature, the scale symbolizes justice, and the apple and glass symbolize access to food and clean water for all.

The piece is part of the Big Art. Bigger Change. project produced in October 2022 in Downtown Houston. It was made possible thanks to the drive and generous support of the Houston Downtown Management District and TotalEnergies. Special thanks to Harris County for offering their wall.
