Sister City Mural Unveiled In Ashland

Your browser doesn’t support HTML5 audio

It helps that the word "mural" is the same in Spanish. 

Because Ashland unveiled a new one this week, on the pedestrian walkway known as Calle Guanajuato. 

The  name comes from Ashland's sister city in Mexico, which also provided the mural painter. 

Laura Rangel Villaseñor--she prefers Loreta--came north to work on the project and see its unveiling.  She and an interpreter join us in the studio to talk about the mural vision and how the work unfolded.
