Mis abuelos me contaron
Artist: Colectivo Cherani
Area: La Veleta, Tulum
Created by Colectivo Cherani from Michoacán, “Mis abuelos me contaron” reflects the power of oral tradition, ancestral memory and community storytelling. The piece invites visitors to think about what we inherit through family, territory and collective voice.
The composition centers a hooded figure surrounded by symbolic creatures — a visual altar to stories told between generations.

Horizontes Mexicanos was created to give visibility to Mexican artists and cultural narratives within Tulum's public art landscape. Curated by Artery, this mural brings a voice from Michoacán into the streets of La Veleta.
