Th97 Paints Shamanic Healing Mural in Buenos Aires
In Munro, Buenos Aires, Brazilian street artist Thiago (th97) has unveiled a mural that illustrates themes of shamanic healing and natural medicine. The artwork showcases a shamanic healer with hallucinogenic mushrooms, accompanied by a jaguar, snake, and hummingbird set against an Amazonian jungle backdrop. Thiago expressed that the mural symbolizes 'the cure' within the urban environment, drawing inspiration from healer Maria Sabina. He sought to illustrate the balance among powerful elements like the hummingbird, jaguar, and serpent, representing natural remedies. In Latin America, mushrooms play a role in shamanic practices aimed at achieving heightened consciousness and alleviating emotional pain. The mural, funded by Cowobongo Bar, is positioned directly in front of the establishment, with photos captured by BA Street Art.
