In July 2022, Ericailcane painted a huge mural in via Schiavazzi, Sant’Elia neighborhood, in front of Parco degli Anelli. The mural called "Vita nova" has been realized for Cagliari Urbanfest - Generazioni Metropolitane. On the right side of the wall, a big cat plays stuffed made of city buildings while a little bird takes a look with a bomb in his beak. On the left side, a mouse reads a newspaper and another one dances under a nettle, a plant with benefic and valuable properties. The scene is a symbol of rebirth and regeneration, despite the intrusive human actions. The tones of blue, azure and green reflect the surrounding environment: all the shades of a sea which embrace Sant’Elia’s shoreline.
Cagliari Urbanfest is the first urban arts festival in Cagliari created by Asteras. Street art murals, workshops, art exhibits, meetings and more take place in the neighborhoods of Sant’Elia, Marina, Stampace and San Michele. Both the periphery and the city center are involved in a stimulating dialogue among the languages of contemporary art.
