On Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, I documented the Akumal Arts Festival as a model of Creative Placemaking, which positions artists in the roles of civic leaders, culture bearers, and change makers. Inspired mural artists from around the world came to paint the town and foster new economic, educational, and social opportunities for the residents, breathing new life into a place described as ‘the forgotten pueblo.’
