The completion of first mural in Daraa with a length of 45 meters

A group of volunteers from Daraa Governorate, within the UNDP-sponsored Melody “Lahn” project, completed work on a 45-meter-long mural to decorate the street opposite Al-Saa’a Roundabout in the center of Daraa city, which leads to several vital sites and markets, to become the first mural in Daraa that has been erected.

Plastic artist Saad Shawqi said in a statement to SANA reporter: The work in which about 25 male and female volunteers from different social and age groups participate is the first of its kind in the city of Daraa and the governorate in general. He pointed out that the work includes the governorate’s material heritage, history, civilization and economic life in it, especially agricultural production that characterizes the province.

Shawqi pointed out that the work is inspired by the cultural component in Daraa to be attractive to the people of the province, noting that the work will be repeated in other places and that a special space will be allocated for plastic art.

The mural was painted on the walls of the Martyr Ahmed Al-Rifai School for Secondary Education, and the project was able to gather the largest possible number of volunteers.
