Artsy mural replaced by (similar) political mural

This blog is about art, not politics. There are at least a few other political murals around town. I thought you might be interested because a five-year-old mural was replaced by a similar mural within the last few months. If you write any comments (at the end of this post), please keep them civil and respectful. Thanks.

I tend to remember murals I see around town. As I was on my way to vote today, I noticed that this mural was gone:

It's from our February 25, 2020 post "Corazon Saguaro" (Saguaro Heart): Banner mural #3 of 5. Thanks to David Aber for the photo.

Here's the new mural (in shade, so the colors may not be the same as the first mural):

Notice that the left side of the mural is the same. Even the artist's signature is in the same spot, and it's still dated 2019:

(I enlarged the first photo a lot from David's original, so it's blurry.)

What's different is that the part of the mural acknowledging Banner Health "This mural by Lalo Cota is dedicated to our Tucson community" has been replaced with "Paid for by Harris for President." nearby…

Update (November 10, 2024): BG Boyd, who photographs from a drone, caught the KAMALA mural being transformed yet again. Now it's a TUCSON mural:

On the post in the Facebook group Tucson Murals and Street Art, he wrote: “Just as soon as it appeared, the Kamala mural is now ‘gone’. I caught the artist transforming it this afternoon. I actually think the idea of being able to change a mural so quickly is kinda neat.” Thanks, BG!
