  <title>Mirá Mi by Beyond</title>
  <description>Since May 2023, this new mural has appeared on the Chopinlaan in Delft, The Netherlandscalled "Mirá Mi"; which translates as 'See Me'; This is the “NOBIS Community Art” project ofCANIDREAM foundation. Check out the short docu about itThe arrival of the second mural in the neighborhood marks an important step in thedevelopment of an art route in the Buitenhof where CANIDREAM is working towards throughNOBIS. With this new artwork, the theme 'Who is your hero' takes center stage.For this painting, people in the neighborhood were asked who their hero is. Through streetinterviews, workshops and other contact moments, neighborhood residents were activelyinvolved in the creation of the design. Together with the neighborhood, art is made to express theidentity and discover and develop talents in the neighborhood: a professional artist workingtogether with local residents!BEYOND explains his design as follows:The design revolves around a hero, in this case the father as hero. This is a father whowants to be there for his children and bring out the best in them.He has a look full of confidence, he is strong, he is there for his daughter. But his thoughtsare also partly with his son, the sadness of not seeing him grow up. The warm and fierytones in the dynamic shapes show his energy, passion and love. The textures in the shapesshow highlights in his life as a father but also the dark sides, the struggles. Only 1 of hischildren is depicted, his son is unfortunately not in the picture, literally and figuratively. Theblue shows his blues, blues that have taken a piece of him. The painting is about hope, love,strength and, above all, the father. Regularly, the father was labeled a hero in theneighborhood. But how can a father be a hero to his child if he is not allowed to see hischild?NOBIS, founded in 2020, is an initiative of the CANIDREAM Foundation in which TU Delftstudents and community residents have focused on beautifying the outdoor space of theBuitenhof. This thriving neighborhood, with a strong community which seeks to empower itsresidents, is still faced with social-economic challenges today. Inspired by national andinternational cities where neighborhood art has long been used to increase the solidarity,NOBIS energetically set to work in Delft to accomplish that same goal. In 2021, the Le Comtépublic award was won with the first painting on the Chopinlaan, called 'La Perla'.</description>
