Cesar Viveros is a visual artist from Mexico. Viveros has collaborated with diverse communities through the Philadelphia Mural Arts program since 1997, where he led the Healing Wall murals with the Graterford State Correctional Institution from 2003–2004, a project that opened doors to further art initiatives within the Philadelphia prison and family court systems. In 2005, he created the first public mural recognizing Mexican migration in Philadelphia, giving visibility to the newly mobilized Mexican community fighting for their rights and contributions in the United States. In 2015, he set a world record for the most participants in a public mural, engaging over 3,000 individuals to welcome Pope Francis and families to the city.

Viveros is dedicated to public installations rooted in Mexican traditions to fight social disparities.  During the pandemic, he constructed a horno de barbacoa enterrada (underground cooking pit) to provide fresh, traditional food to thousands. Following the pandemic, he created temazcales (ceremonial sweat lodges) for spiritual and physical healing and launched nixtamal food justice programs in West Kensington.

Viveros promotes Mesoamerican culture such as altars, Mexica rituals, paper-mâché workshops, fresco painting, and clay work to retain symbols of identity among the immigrant community. His artwork has been exhibited at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Penn Museum, the Fleisher Art Memorial, and The Clay Studio. He has received awards from The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage, Forman Arts Initiative, the Samuel S. Fel Fund, the William Penn Foundation, and the Independence Foundation.
