A beautiful new video of the Cardiff Bay 'My City My Shirt' mural has been released. Residents reacted angrily earlier this year after the mural, dubbed Cardiff's 'Mona Lisa,' was painted over to make way for a McDonald's advert. But the mural was re-painted in a new location on James Street, just across the road from the original, with the help of Unify Creative and McDonald's.
Now, stunning drone footage of the mural, produced by Unify Creative, has been released. The video is accompanied by a touching poem which is read out by "good friend" of Unify, Joyce from Women Seeking Sanctuary Wales (WSSAG).
The poem reads: "She came dressed in blue, shrouded in red/ I know she is the one, there is a crown on her head/ A beacon of beauty a true piece of art/ She was sent to Unify the coldest of hearts/ Leading with love, she is a testament to brighter day/ And you can find her perfectly poised in Tiger Bay." In an Instagram post releasing the video, Unify Creative said that the piece was based on a poem created by musician, presenter, and model, Asha Jane.
