Exposition in the ‘GaleríaLa Santa’ – Barcelona

Galería La Santa called on 22 artists to intervene directly on the walls of the gallery. Brigadas al muro is an eclectic group of artists who come from different disciplines, and that have already worked on walls in actual urban culture; visual artists, illustrators, designers, graffiti painters and fashion trendy designers. Brigadas al muro uses walls as canvas. In it artists critically condemn different situations, an answer and a disagreement sample in view of a society that is becoming more and more unequal.

This project is called Brigadas al muro, in reference to the Brigada Ramona Parra and its interventions on the walls of Chile during the 60´s and 70´s, while the city was marked by a social and politic general unrest. Brigadas al muro, come to the rescue with actual codes, a critical spirit, and team work which characterized the brigades of Ramona Parra.
