This cache is located in a one-of-a-kind community park featuring 8 decommissioned satellites on the grounds of the Duke Arts Annex. The satellites were originally used in the ‘90s to receive and deliver educational programming for Duke Cable Television. In 2018 Mural Durham commisioned eight local artists to paint a wide range of designs on the satellites.
This small magnetic cache is attached to the satillite painted by Cornelio Campos, who came to the U.S. as a teenager decades ago from Mexico. “This design represents different symbols used by the Purepechas people in Cheran, Mexico, to describe clothing and pottery," said Campos. "I was inspired to share this artwork to expose our community in Durham to the indigenous community where I was raised and let them know that we exist.”
