CityLab and GAM join forces to open for the first time a space for reflection, thought and dialogue on the contribution of urban art to the development of the cities of the future.
Through two conversations and mediated activities, artists, architects and urban planners will address the temporal intersections of muralism in Santiago and the development of urban art, in its different disciplines, as a contemporary urban intervention.
The cycle was born as a complementary activity to the inauguration of the recent mural on the façade of the cultural center, made by the artist Fab Ciraolo in tribute to the 80th anniversary of Gabriela Mistral's Nobel Prize.
Two mediated visits will be added to the conversations: one guided by the artist Fab Ciraolo himself to learn details of the inaugurated work and its creative process; and the second – aimed at childhood – to learn about the urban art present in GAM.
