Pachamama Murals and Street Art Celebrating Mother Earth in Argentina

On August 1st, Argentina and several other South American nations observe Pachamama Day, a celebration of the Inca goddess associated with nature. Murals honoring Pachamama have been recorded by Buenos Aires Street Art, particularly in the northern provinces of Salta, Tucumán, Jujuy, and Catamarca. A notable shrine in Salta features Pachamama alongside native wildlife and offerings. In 2025, street artist Luxor created a mural in Coghlan, Buenos Aires. Families in Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, and Chile partake in festivities by presenting offerings of corn, fruit, and wine. In Paris, Chilean artist Alapinta crafted a mural depicting Pachamama with a child. The Quechua words 'pacha' and 'mama' translate to Earth and mother, respectively, symbolizing ecological consciousness and appreciation for the planet.
