About the Artist
At the intersection where creativity and community converge, Sasha Primo waves tales of colour, identity, culture, and empowerment. Born in Argentina, educated in painting and electronic arts, Sasha uses public space to give life to hyper-realistic murals of indigenous peoples as an invitation to explore distant lands and reflect about the rich tapestry of cultural diversity.
In 2017, Sasha co-founded the art collective MUTA in a house marked for demolition. Within its walls, he and fellow creatives transformed the space into a shelter for expression hosting workshops, events, and interventions. Together, they forged a diverse community of artists, urbanists, architects and educators.
For the last 15 years, he travelled through the landscapes of Latin America and the United States producing over 100 murals and placemaking projects in villages and cities like Asunción Ixtaltepec (Mexico), Santa Ana (Panamá), Toctiuco (Ecuador), Buenos Aires (Argentina), Mexico City (México), Oakland (California - US), Marshalltown (Iowa, US), Hoytsville (Utah - US), among others. Implementing a people-centred approach he actively organised and participated in more than 60 workshops impacting 2400 neighbours.
