Murals at a housing project in Portugal highlight UN goals and build local pride
The murals connect residents' personal stories to 17 U.N. Sustainable Development Goals, fostering community pride and highlighting challenges like poverty and inequality, organizers said.
- On Dec 08, 2025, the CAZAmbujal association and Ad Gentes unveiled murals at Zambujal housing project, linking local stories to UN Sustainable Development Goals.
- Vitor Monteiro, head of CAZAmbujal, said the aim was to learn residents' stories and link those narratives to the sustainable development goals, inviting local artists including those new to outdoor painting.
- One striking example shows a `No Poverty` mural of a Black woman braiding a white woman's hair, a `No Hunger` mural of a woman teaching children about her garden, and school children viewing a Pedro das Neves mural on Nov. 3, 2025.
- Local guides, including young residents, now lead tours for visiting groups from Portugal and abroad, while Ana Gomes, local resident, says the murals sparked pride and brought renewed vitality.
- Organisers link the work to the 17 goals of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, aiming to connect daily life while the U.N. warns quality education and good health are in trouble and murals highlight reducing inequality and decent jobs.
