WOOL x Muralidades

This was a youth initiative project promoted by the Beira Serra Development Association in partnership with WOOL and the Boidobra parish, financed by the Youth in Action Program.

We invited GonçaloMAR for this project and held a workshop where ten youths between 14 and 20 participated. They got the chance to work on the walls of an underground passageway under Estrada Nacional 18 (National Road number 18), requalifying it and transforming it into a point of interest in the parish.

On one side of the wall, GonçaloMAR created a mural inspired by the locality’s fairy tale, which speaks of a bull ringing the church’s bell – something nothing short of a miracle. On the other side of the wall is the participants’ first painting in the Boidobra Hall of Fame (free wall painting). This wall has kept the initial paintings without anyone having painted over them since as if wanting to make that memory last forever.
