On the 11th, 12th and 13th of September Mojácar hosts a new National Graffiti League event, which will be held at the Mojácar Football Ground, and will bring to the municipality one of the most representative forms of contemporary urban art.
On Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th, from 9am to 2pm and from 4pm to 8.30pm, the public can visit the venue to see up close the qualifying artists at work: Nauni69, Konestilo, Danklabara, Eslicer, Daes, Amek Uno, Cien, Badi Coloreando, Taser, and Ñuku.
This event will offer a chance to watch the creative process in person and experience graffiti in a different way, transforming the Mojácar Football Ground into a space dedicated to creativity and urban art throughout the weekend.
The programme will also include an activity specially designed for children. On Saturday the 12th at 12.30pm, there will be a children’s graffiti workshop, which will offer boys and girls the opportunity to explore this art form and experiment with its most creative side. Music will be a feature throughout the weekend, rounding out a programme that will conclude on Sunday the 13th at 12.30pm with the competition’s awards ceremony.
With this event, Mojácar adds to its programming an initiative that brings new forms of artistic expression to residents and visitors, and which turns the municipality into a meeting point for artists and graffiti enthusiasts over three days.
The event is organised by Mojácar Council and sponsored by El Corte Inglés, Mission, Kappa, and Montana Colors (MTN).
The Mayor of Mojácar, Francisco García Cerdá, has highlighted the importance of continuing to incorporate diverse offerings into the municipality’s programme of events. “We want Mojácar to also be a space open to new forms of artistic expression. The National Graffiti League allows us to bring urban art closer to residents and visitors, and at the same time offer a different activity where the public will be able to enjoy the artists’ creative process in person,” he stated.
García Cerdá also highlighted the value of the children’s workshop: “It is an opportunity for the youngest ones to explore this discipline from a creative and participatory perspective. We want them to enjoy themselves, to experiment, and to discover the different forms of expression which art offers, at the same time as learning the importance of respecting their surroundings and understanding the appropriate spaces for practicing graffiti.”
Finally, he invited residents and visitors to head to the Mojácar Playa Football Ground over the weekend “to see the artists’ work, enjoy the atmosphere, and experience up close a different competition that, over three days, will have Mojácar as its setting.
