A Arte

In their second collaboration for Converse All Star Murals in Ho Chi Minh City, Cresk and Nguoi Da use the symbolism of a rooster to convey a deeper message of breaking down barriers. Nguoi Da explains their choice, stating that the rooster is a “very important character to the people in the highlands” as well as a resource to help people overcome economic and educational barriers. The rooster is used to motivate people to “break through prejudices and traditions to help minorities access new technologies.”

Reflecting on the importance of breaking down barriers and what it means to him, Cresk states that they are “breaking social barriers to bring positive thinking to the community.” Through their mural, Nguoi Da wants viewers to grow their respect for ethnic diversity and understand that creativity can help “break through the barriers of the Vietnamese people.”

In the cultural and economic center of Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City is a place where many people from various regions gather and connect.
