They Come Here for Their Children @ Sutton Elementary School

They Come Here for Their Children @ Sutton Elementary School

Zavala Eliud created They Come Here for Their Children, as a part of The Gulfton Story Trail, which is an immersive art experience that invites you—the explorer—to discover the neighborhood’s many cultures and voices. Nestled in between Gulfton’s global cuisines and eclectic shops are 12 inspiring murals. Each vibrant piece is multi-dimensional, born from poetry written by Gulfton students, expressed visually by muralists, and experienced by residents and visitors, blending Gulfton’s stories with their own. Eliud’s mural is based on Jesus Mayen’s poem “Them.”



“With prayers in their pockets

Hoping to start new,

To have a better lifestyle.

They come here for their children”
