<div>&nbsp;“Eulalia”, meaning “well-spoken” in Greek. Patron saint of Mérida (Extremadura) and freedom of expression. She was a girl, who in the 4th century, at the age of 12, confronted the established power to demand freedom and respect for her beliefs. The governor of Lusitania rejected her opinion and tortured her in retaliation. It is said that a mist appeared to cover that atrocity.<br>She has been represented multiple times, but mainly as an older woman instead of a girl. The invisibilization and invalidation of youth as an active element that should be part of society is a burden that continues to be perpetuated. Theirs is the future and theirs should also be the decision about the present.<br>This mural is painted in La Antigua, a neighbourhood next to the Roman circus in Mérida. During the meeting with the neighbours, the concern for the generational relief in the neighbourhood’s activism was mentioned. <br>&nbsp;<strong>Production:</strong> MUMCO (Museo de Muralismo Contemporáneo de Mérida)&nbsp;<br>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br> “Eulalia” del griego: 'La que habla bien'. Patrona de Mérida y de la libertad de expresión fue una niña que en el siglo 4, con 12 años, plantó cara al poder establecido para exigir libertad y respeto a sus creencias. El gobernador de Lusitania rechazó su opinión y la torturó como represalia. Se dice que apareció una niebla para cubrir esa atrocidad.<br>Se ha representado en múltiples ocasiones pero casi siempre como una mujer, en lugar de una niña. La invisibilización e invalidación de la juventud como un elemento activo que debe formar parte de la sociedad es un lastre que se sigue perpetuando. De ella es el futuro y de ella debe ser, también, la decisión sobre el presente.<br>Este mural está pintado en La Antigua, una barriada sindical al lado del circo romano de Mérida (Extremadura). Durante la reunión con los vecinos se mencionó la preocupación por el relevo generacional en el activismo del barrio.&nbsp;</div>

<div>Grenoble Street Art Fest 2020<br>&nbsp;“Everywhere, everyday, our future depends on it”. Grenoble is a city surrounded by mountains, capital city of the French Alps. In 2014 the town council decided to suppress billboards and strictly regulate advertising in the public space. According to them “the information that advertising delivers is not useful for the citizens, it does not support local business and moreover attacks young people with images that reflect a society model that is catastrophic ”. The environment is also critically damaged because of consumerism. This step was a way of putting common wellbeing before personal craving and convenience. But advertising does not disappear, it infiltrates everywhere, like now our mobile phones. So this is an internal battle that we all have to face. We are all victims of advertising and executioners for Nature.&nbsp;</div>

<div>For Blindwalls project<br><br>&nbsp;"Innovation comes from good tradition". The reconstruction after World War II of the neighbourhood De Heuvel in Breda followed two trends. Architect Peutz is innovative, which is visible in the use of his materials and striking light, while architect Molière stands for recognizable traditions, visible in the use of robust bricks. Innovation and tradition come out as the two sides of the same coin.&nbsp;</div>

<div><strong>Sebastián Velasco and Xabier Xtrm on the façade of the garages on Calle Duque de Ahumada, on the new walkway and next to the elevator on Calle Castilla, have wanted to represent images of the neighborhoods that have been connected Castilla Hermida, Calle Alta and the Fishing Quarter, on the railway facilities. In the mural appear a seagull, a fishing boat and some cranes, the profile of some buildings on Alta Street, a crow, alluding to the Peña del Cuervo and a train.In the mural there is a phrase that says: "Navigators without shore", wanting to refer to the land gained from the sea and also considering neighbors and walkers as "navigators".The mural is quite damaged, but the "crow" is still in his rock, La Peña del Cuervo, controlling all of Santander </strong>_____________<br><br><br>Sebastián Velasco y Xabier Xtrm en la fachada de los garajes de la calle Duque de Ahumada, sobre la pasarela y junto al ascensor de la Calle Castilla, han querido representar imágenes de los barrios que se han conectado Castilla Hermida, la calle Alta y el Barrio Pesquero, sobre las instalaciones del ferrocarril.

Navigators without shore 

<div><strong>He denounces the situation that the animals live in the La Magdalena mini-zoo, with a large seal located above the slogan, 'La Libertá, the greatest spectacle in the world', written in Cantabrian. The most curious thing is that this work is sponsored by the city council itself. </strong>&nbsp;__________________________________________ Denuncia la situación que viven los animales en el minizoo de La Magdalena, con una gran foca situada encima del lema, <strong>'La Libertá el mayor espetáculu del mundu'</strong>, escrito en cántabru.

Freedom, the greatest show in the world 

<div>Grenoble Street Art Fest 2022<br>&nbsp;<br>“Rivalité”. The word rival comes from the latin rivalis and it has its origin in the person that lived in the opposite bank of the river, riba in latin. Although it is used to refer to the opponent or enemy, the example of Fontaine and Grenoble, which are separated by river Drac, made possible a different meaning for this word. This river is called Drac because of the violent floods caused by the thaws that these towns have suffered throughout history. Knowledge and cooperation between Fontaine and Grenoble made possible the channelling and control of Drac’s power. This mural is painted on Maison de Jeunes et de la Culture Nelson Mandela (the Civic Centre in Fontaine). This public facility is used to teach arts and share culture. An asset that should always remain public and accessible in order to face common challenges.&nbsp;</div>

Rivalité

<p>“The nature is here”<br>Part of this concept for the future and plans for the Jena-Winzerla Nord district Gruppe F started this art project with the broad participation of residents and the political decision-makers ...

Winzerla is a district in Jena, Germany, a city that is known worldwide by the manufacturing of Carl Zeiss lenses.<br>We want to promote consciousness, make residents feel proud of their neighbourhood and incite them to take care of the surroundings.<br>This intervention is part of a project of landscape architecture and improvement of this zone formed by modernist housing built during German Democratic Republic".</p>
