Despite the media impact we achieved with the success of the 1st edition in 2012, we weren’t able to secure support from the Covilhã Municipal Council. Even so, we wanted to make WOOL happen again, and with limited resources and support from CIN, who provided the paints, we invited Catalan artist Kram to perform. He graciously waived his fee to be with us. Kram created a mural inspired by the fairy tale “Fera de Teixeira” (Teixeira’s Beast).
Extra WOOL was perhaps our way of saying that, even without any funding, WOOL had come to stay.
