New Urban Art Murals celebrate 5 decades of freedom

Between August 20 and September 10, Lisbon residents can follow the creation of the 5 murals. The work has already begun and can be seen in different areas of the city.

António Alves, a muralist during the Revolutionary Process in Progress (PREC), began working on walls in the 1970s and 1980s as a discursive practice of resistance and counter-power, an activity he continues today. The artist's intervention will take place in Calçada dos Mestres/Av. Calouste Gulbenkian - Parque Canino, from August 22 to 31, in an area of 180 m2.
