Scientific collaboration and live art
In this new action, under the name Blau Urbà and framed within the #ForOurSea campaign, we work with contemporary artists based in Barcelona, who represent through mural projects on the Ground Floor of the Shopping Center in “Live Painting” format, their vision of the sea, its current state, and its species, as a social vindication, for its proper common maintenance.
Each of the works is characterized by multiple forms of artistic expression within urban art, and reflects the creative freedom and personal interpretation of the sea from the artists’ distinct aesthetic perspectives.
In the media
El Blau Urbà has also been a protagonist in RNE. An interview with the Marketing Director of Diagonal Mar, Oriol Castellà, together with the participating artists, Juanjo Surace and Twee Muizen, explains how this project connects urban art with the protection of the sea.
