Image
From 29th October to 3rd November 2022, BLOOP International Proactive Art Festival’s very first pop-up edition is taking place at Morelia Michoacán, Mexico, for the “Día de losMuertos/ Day of the Dead”. The Ibizan festival, which recently completed its 12th consecutive year this summer, is now travelling to the sacred celebration full of colours that unite the living and the world beyond. Day of the Dead is celebrated on November 1st and 2nd in Mexico and throughout Latin America with bright colours, Aztec marigolds, candles, calaveras (skulls) and calacas (skeletons). The celebration is like a family reunion, with dead ancestors being the guests of honour.

‘They Went to Sea’ Mural Focuses on Immigration and is Created from Yola’s Award-Winning Film, Doncaster 2022

Image
The city of Doncaster sees another incredible work of street art injected into the heart of the city by acclaimed international artist Jola Kudela, known professionally as Yola. Combining forces with the Polish Cultural Institute, which provided financial support for the mural’s development, curator Mike Stubbs and the urban art production team Art of Protest Projects, the mural focuses on immigration and is created from Yola’s award-winning film “They Went to Sea.” The mural is titled by the same name and is inspired by Edward Lear’s limerick “The Jumblies”. “The poem speaks about a group of Jumblies who went on a journey to discover the world in the least suitable vessel, a sieve. It’s a story of a group of people who abandon the old status quo in search of something new. It can be interpreted as a metaphor for the migration movements around the world in pursuit of a better life.” Yola Yola divides her time between the UK, France and Poland. She studied at the Polish ...

MTN MIXTAPES: FONER GFM

Image
Foner GFM will be no stranger to readers of MTN World. The Barcelona native has been active since 2001 and remains an active component of the GFM family, which also includes writers like Sawe , Guan and Nimek . He’s also an avid collector of records, which makes him an ideal candidate to put together the latest MTN Mixtape.
 Whether it be highly visible highway spots on the commuter routes into Barcelona, quick pieces on freights or burners painted on virgin walls in the countryside, Foner doesn’t let a week go by without getting up in some form or other. He has recently been exploring his more abstract view of painting, demonstrating the versatility of a maturing artist. You can check out a mural he protected with MTN PRO Water Based Varnish here. What sets Foner apart from many other writers is the energy of his pieces. His outlines, which seem to be mutant throw ups, seem to dance on the surface, and his color schemes represent the eye of an artist comfortable with tones, pal...

When art represents an everyday memory: the story of Giada and her grandfather Tonino

Image
For this year’s edition of LuceFest , in the small village of San Pietro Magisano in Calabria, Italy a hyper-realistic and hyper-impressive mural was painted by the artist Slim Safont . The aim of the festival, which took place from August 28 to September 6, is to give a new face to degraded or abandoned landscapes in this region, but also to create a synergy between those involved, including the organisations, artists and residents. By embellishing streets with art, they hope to increase the number of visitors, making the city and the landscape around it better known in Calabria and beyond. Only three hundred and sixty-four people live in the village of San Pietro; two of which the artist has depicted in his beautiful work — namely Giada and her grandfather. Whenever Slim arrives at his destination, he researches, observes and photographs the environment and likes to engage in conversation with the locals. Among all the stories he collected, the one that caught Slim’s imagination...
