Ponle Vuelo A Tus Sueños/Let Your Dreams Take Flight
Experience the brand new mural “Ponle Vuelo A Tus Sueños / Let Your Dreams Take Flight” by Boston-based muralist Yenny Hernandez at Prudential Center.
“Let Your Dreams Take Flight” welcomes visitors entering Boylston Plaza at Prudential Center with vibrant colors, floral patterns, and nostalgic imagery. Hernandez notes that her intention for this project is to create a place and a space for people to talk about their hopes and dreams. “Take Flight” has a distinct message for the Latinx community in particular. It serves as a recognition of journeys to dream fulfillment that include breaking through language, educational, and socioeconomic barriers. The stairs leading into the building are also enveloped with colorful illustrations, as well as messages of encouragement — another signature element of the artists’ work. Visitors are reassured: “You are capable,” “Go for it!” and “Onward!” with each step they take toward the landing.
This vibrant 2,500 SF mural was commissioned by Boston Properties and curated by Now + There, “Take Flight” will be viewable through October 2022.
