RiNo Art District, in partnership with Denver Sister Cities International, announces a collaboration between Chennai, India and Denver for a Mural Artist Exchange, celebrating four decades of friendship and cooperation between Denver and Chennai as sister cities.
On July 18, Chennai artist A-Kill and Denver artists Koco Collab will unveil the result of their mural installation in The Alley, adjacent to Noble Riot off of 27th Street between Larimer and Walnut Streets. The mural is designed to reflect both the vibrant street culture of Chennai and the natural beauty of Colorado. The mural features Pookkari (a woman who sells flowers), representing Chennai's vibrant street life, surrounded by plumeria flowers, coastal elements, and traditional patterns. Denver's influence appears with trees and a moon, symbolizing universal connectivity. This artwork beautifully merges Chennai's everyday culture with Denver's natural beauty.
The Mural was installed this week in conjunction with the Denver Taste of India Festival. Additionally, an artist Q&A will take place to discuss the collaboration and cultural exchanges between Chennai and Denver. The panel is open to the public and will take place Thursday, July 18, 4:00 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. at The Alley in front of the mural.
