About this Mural:
-----------------------
The Wayúu are from the Guajira Peninsula to the north that juts out into the Caribbean & shared by Venezuela and Colombia. With a population of about 200,000, the Wayúu form the largest indigenous group in Colombia, representing about 20 percent of the country’s total Amerindian population, according to Wikipedia. Likewise in Venezuela, where the Wayúu number some 300,000, representing just under 60 percent of the Amerindians.

Known as the people of the sun, sand & wind, the Wayuu were never entirely subjugated by the Spanish against whom they were engaged in a near-constant state of rebellion. More recently, their fate & treatment has been similar to that of other indigenous groups the world over, their problems largely ignored & their traditional lands granted to mining interests — in this case by both the Colombian & Venezuelan governments.

The Wayúu language, called wayuunaiki, is part of the Arawak language family predominant in different parts of the Caribbean. There are small differences in dialect within the region of La Guajira: the northern, central or southern zones. Most of the younger generation speak Spanish fluently but understand the importance of preserving their traditional language.

There is a great sense of dignity & honor in Trilleras’s portrait, projecting a strong link to the past while also staring proudly, almost fiercely, to the future. Her eyes suggest that she’s carrying a great weight, yet she seems to bear it as if it were weightless. Making the most of the large piece’s cramped location, Trilleras’s use of line, space & color works extraordinarily well here, giving the piece, & the woman, room to breathe.

📣Same with me. It's easy to go around in circles on Pinterest and Facebook and wind up none the wiser. The street art on your two puzzles below is actually quite beautiful and colorful. I don't do puzzles, I don't have the patience, but I appreciate the myriad of photos and artwork on Jigidi.

📣I had never heard of Bogota but I have heard of Colombia. All I knew of Colombia was there were lots of cartels and drugs and it is dangerous, but looking at the street art and the cafes gave me the impression there are pockets of normal people in normal streets doing normal things over there.

Thank you for sharing... ❤️Dixie

I feel the same like you Dixie about learning new/more about cultures from all over the world. :-))

I did post some Colombian Mural-Art puzzles before, maybe you've already 'bumped' into them:

https://www.jigidi.com/jigsaw-puzzle/0hey2ujw/4-keeping-an-eye-on/

Though often I can't find any name on artists or title(s) due to lack of proper info on found pics. Sometimes I get lucky by search on image, to find an Art site but usually I end up by lots of pinterest, facebook or bussiness/wellness posts with no info of the picture at all.... :-/
So any adds about my info missing 'puzzle pieces' from interesting puzzlers is very welcome & always gladly put their names to special thanks or credits for their kind help. :-)))

I found it quite interesting so I was glad you asked the question. I asked Uncle Google to show me more images for the street art in Bogota and it was revealing. It's interesting to learn more of who inhabits our world besides us.

@DixieReid Thank you for the interesting facts on this impressive mural of this beautiful Wayúu woman, I appreciate very much DixieReid & I will gladly add them to the description & credits of this puzzle together with some more info I could found on it! :-))

This spectacular mural is of a Wayuu – aka Wayu, Wayúu, Guajiro, Wahiro – indigenous woman by Colombian street artist and muralist Carlos Trilleras in Candelaria, Bogota‘s historical city center. Located on the narrow Calle del Embudo near the central Plaza del Chorro de Quevedo square, the mural dominates the setting. Like the Wayuu group that it represents, one that was never subjugated by the Spanish, the mural can’t and won’t be ignored.
