Chemi Rosado Seijo
b. 1973, Puerto Rico
In this work – El Cerro (The Hillside) – the artist created the possibility of communal and aesthetic pride in the disadvantaged, crime-ridden town of Naranjito in Puerto Rico. The artist worked with the local residents to repaint their houses, the entire barrio, in green paint to blend into the surrounding hillside.
