Public mural — almost certainly the ‘Bacolod WallStory,’ a 150-meter mural (one of the longest in the city) unveiled October 13, 2024 for the 45th MassKara Festival, painted by over 50 local artists led by internationally-recognized Negrense artist Charlie Co. Spans the perimeter wall of the historic Hernaez Mansion at the corner of Mabini, Rizal, and Galo Streets, Barangay 22 — the mansion belonged to the late Senator Pedro Hernaez, who authored Bacolod’s cityhood charter in 1938. The mural tells MassKara’s actual origin story in sequence: sacada (migrant sugar worker) faces by acclaimed artist Nunelucio Alvarado, a sugarcane field, the 1980 sinking of the ferry MV Don Juan (a tragedy that killed many Negrenses and, alongside a sugar industry crisis, prompted the city to create the festival’s smiling masks to lift public spirits), then the festival itself at Bacolod Public Plaza — plus imagery of the city’s founding, a train with piaya-shaped wheels, and San Sebastian Cathedral. Turned a previously vandalism-prone wall into one of the city’s genuine cultural attractions.
