Somos Libre (We are Free)

by Cadex Herrera

Represents the District del Sol. Located at Wabasha St and Kellogg Blvd.

“My work is primarily inspired by my Hispanic heritage, delving into its rich culture, history, and the diverse experiences of its people. I'm passionate about creating art that not only reflects these aspects but also seeks to elevate and celebrate the subjects I portray.” - Cadex Herrera

As part of the Cultural Destination Area work of the City’s Planning and Economic Development department and Mayor Carter, Forecast Public Art facilitated a thoughtful and equitable selection process for seven new permanent murals in the downtown Cultural District, completed from fall 2023 through 2025. The Downtown Saint Paul Alliance identified and secured walls for the murals. These completed murals enliven downtown with the aim of bringing greater appreciation and awareness to the diversity of Saint Paul neighborhoods.

The represented Saint Paul cultural destination areas are: Little Mekong, Little Africa, Rondo, Shepard Davern, District del Sol, Near East Side, and North End
