Presentation

Barrium | Nora Collective - The Barrium mural, created by the Nora Collective, is located at the western entrance to the city. Along its approximately 65 meters in length, it pays homage to the people and traditions, such as agriculture, rice paddies, and industry, such as ceramics and metalworking. Its orange color refers to the industrial architecture of the old factories, built in solid red clay brick, with their typical chimneys, which are part of the city's landscape.

A painting inspired by the Heart of Bairrada, storks, and the surroundings of the park itself and the stone pines on the basketball court.

 

Untitled | Ratu & Zooter - The work by Ratu and Zooter depicts the Cértima River and the rice paddies planted along its banks, as well as ceramics, one of the main industries in the municipality.

 

Alma Bairradina | Steven Marques - This urban art intervention by Steven Marques is located in Oiã and is inspired by the culture and history of the Bairrada region. This work was created to mark the “Festa da Flor” (Flower Festival), which takes place in the village of Oiã.

 

Untitled | António Conceição - The mural designed by artist António Conceição, located in the industrial area of Oiã, in the municipality of Oliveira do Bairro, aims to highlight the industrial identity of the region, emphasizing the sectors that mark its history and evolution. The project aims to create a link between urban art and the industrial history of Oiã, a region distinguished by its ceramics, metallurgy, and mold industries.

 

Visconde de Bustos | António Conceição - This urban art intervention was created by António Conceição. The challenge posed to the artist was to perpetuate the memory of the Viscount of Bustos, António Duarte Sereno, a prominent figure in the town, as well as the turret of his mansion, built in 1906, which has become an iconic symbol of the town's identity. The intervention is located next to Radiolândia - Museu do Rádio, a museum that has also become a “calling card” for the town of Bustos, and very close to another intervention, installed on a wall in the playground, by Coletivo Nora.

 

Playground Mural | Coletivo Nora - The work by Coletivo Nora highlights the relationship between children and the games that were once played but are now played less and less. A dichotomy between the games of the past and the reality of the present. The idea is a sequence of a numbered point-to-point game, which is built up along the mural and assembled in a patch of objects related to radio.

 

The Cultural Heritage of Bairrada linked to Traditional Music | Lara Roseiro - The work by Lara Roseiro features three figures that refer to the theme of the Bairrada Ethnomusic Museum, where it is located, symbolizing the cultural heritage of Bairrada linked to traditional music. Each character represents the music or ethnography of the region: its musical instruments, its costumes, and its handicrafts, as well as its traditions.

 

The People of the Land | António Conceição - The Urban Art Mural located next to Praça de São Pedro, in the center of Palhaça, was created by António Conceição. The work, which pays homage to the people and traditions of this village, displays three major landmarks of the parish: the evolution of the Palhaça Fair, the São Pedro procession, and the famous legend of Fonte Bebe e Vai-te.

 

The Legend of Mamarrosa | António Conceição - This work by António Conceição is located on Rua da Banda Filarmónica, next to the Mamoa roundabout, in the village of Mamarrosa. The artist was inspired by a local legend that explains the origin of the town's name. The Legend of Mamarrosa "Once upon a time, a foreign knight was riding his horse and, when he arrived at what is now the town of Mamarrosa, he found a woman sitting at the door of her house, breastfeeding her baby. The knight asked her in his language what the name of the village was, but she did not understand and said to her daughter, “Mama, Rosa.” The knight repeated his question. The woman, who still did not understand anything, replied with the same expression: “Mama, Rosa.” For the knight, that land came to be called Mama(r)rosa, and he continued on his journey.
