This mural was created for the Cities of Hope Festival in 2016 https://inspiringcity.com/2016/06/12/cities-of-hope-brings-some-of-the-worlds-top-street-artists-to-manchester/ Argentina's Hyuro focus was about the impact of war on children in conflict zones. She explains the piece in her instagram feed https://www.instagram.com/p/BGVKst9hJCE/?taken-by=h_y_u_r_o&hl=en saying "Both armed conflict and violence that trigger affects the lives of many children in different parts of the world. In addition to the direct consequences of war and armed violence they are also indirectly affected by displacement, loss of family and trauma caused by the acts of violence they witness. This wall is intended to give voice to all the lost innocence, all children who are fighting for their own survival, unable, in front of the eyes of all, to live a childhood as they deserve."
