MORALES-VARGAS, María de Lourdes. Stories in Waiting. Urban Mural Painting in the Public Spaces of San Cristobal de Las Casas, Chiapas. LiminaR [online]. 2020, vol.18, n.1, pp.61-81.  Epub 15-Mayo-2020. ISSN 2007-8900.  https://doi.org/10.29043/liminar.v18i1.729.

This article presents various approximations to the practice of urban mural ainting in San Cristobal de Las Casas. The analysis of the characteristics of graphic-pictorial urban intervention and creative processes through talks and interviews with artists and examination of their works made it possible to glimpse the projects, ideas, and discourse that flow from the creativity in this city. In this way, we can approach some of the senses and meanings that allow us to conceive urban mural painting as a youthful, artistic-social, collective, and community practice.

Palabras llave : urban mural painting; collective art; public space.
