Lavandeiras do Sarela

This mural was created by Xoana Almar in 2020 during the 2nd edition of Delas Fest, a feminist festival of urban and contextual art, at the Santa Isabel Sports Complex in Santiago de Compostela. The artwork is in Galeras, a neighbourhood linked to the feminised trade of washerwomen. The piece represents a cheerful version of these women through a colourful composition that defies the scale of greys that dominates the imagination of past times.
