In this live-streamed Online Experience, we will discover how the history of some of the most traditional neighbourhoods of Valencia interacts with the urban art that many artists have painted during the past decade.
During the virtual tour, you will find out about the background of the areas visited and get to know all the secrets about the artists and their artworks: the meanings, the anecdotes, the gossip...
El Carmen is the cradle of Valencian urban art, an authentic labyrinth of small alleys filled with art and traditions. Velluters was the neighbourhood of the silk artisans, and nowadays, it is transformed into an open-air museum where the artworks also describe the centenary history of the area. And finally, El Cabanyal, the maritime district of the city, with its fishermen huts covered with colourful ceramic tiles and surrounded by street art and graffitis, mainly used to revalue the entire area and celebrate the identity of the people who live there.
Each artwork will tell us a story, and since the walls are able to speak, we will learn how to listen and appreciate the ephemeral art that decorates all of these areas.
Join me, and I will make you submerge and get to know Valencia's most artistic “face”.
