Pequeno Miramide

Pequeno Miramide

LOCATION:
2050 W Pennway Terrace, Kansas City, MO

Artist: Christian Mann
Description: To celebrate the Westside’s Latin American roots, artist Christian Mann chose a design often associated with the ancient Mayans – the stepped pyramid. Because these structures traditionally served as the ceremonial center of a community, Mann’s Pequeno Miramide (little pyramid) features a small stage and amphitheater-style seating in the hillside. Over 100 drawings created by neighborhood children decorate the pyramid’s steps thanks to a collaboration with Mattie Rhodes Art Center.
