Created with 11 other murals for the 2026 World Cup Activation Events, “Nuestra Bushwick” celebrates the Latin American diaspora and the distinctive character of Bushwick. A colorful lineup of Latin American flags stretches across the sky above trees and hummingbirds, blending with Brooklyn brownstones to symbolize the relationship between residents’ cultural roots and their adopted home. A neighborhood block party brings people together around food, music and celebration, while families and children play soccer and break open a piñata beneath a warm golden sun. The abundant plants, trees, flowers and birds add a sense of nature and vitality, creating a welcoming green space within the urban landscape. The mural responds to community priorities around joy, safety, belonging and cultural representation, with food, family, and play coming together as expressions of neighborhood pride and connection. Together, these elements create a vibrant hallmark of Bushwick — celebrating the cultures, traditions and everyday moments that make the neighborhood feel like home.
