Nel 2020, infatti, l’associazione culturale è stata la vincitrice del bando “<strong>STREET ART – Artisti italiani e neerlandesi lanciano un messaggio insieme</strong>”, promosso e ideato dall’Ambasciata del Regno dei Paesi Bassi e dal Consolato Generale di Milano.<br><br></div><div>Il progetto <strong>ARTogether</strong> che ne è scaturito ha così visto nascere il grande intervento di via Ragusa a Lecce, qui realizzato dal rinomato duo artistico neerlandese <strong>KARSKI &amp; BEYOND</strong>.&nbsp;<br><br></div>

Sabotaje al Montaje

<div><strong>Sabotaje Al Montaje</strong>, the artist who has lived all his life on the Canarian Sea is particularly sensitive to the environmental issues. On the wall, created in Lecce, he focused on the problem of water pollution. The monumental representation of a man watching his fish highlights the presence of plastic caps caught by the sea instead of fishes. Once again, sensitivity to the traditions, to the activity of fishing, and the link with the place, the sea, became artistic pathway to critically express the conflicting dynamics of nowadays.&nbsp;</div>

Dimitri Taxis

<div><strong>Dimitris Taxis</strong> through his mural described the moment of grape harvesting in a representative "frame". "Viktoria", the title of his work, an almost romantic image with warm and delicate tones presents a woman in the action of picking grapes at the center of a Salentine landscape during the harvest. A timeless synthesis that shows, at a glance, the relationship of exchange between man and his environment, inspiring the viewer to enrich the sense of identification with the land, the sense of love to their land and enforcing care for it.</div>

farhan siki

<div><strong>Farhan Siki</strong>, an internationally renowned Indonesian artist, started his "works" with a surprising visit in Salento. Already for the third time, he will leave an indelible mark on the walls of the 167 district. He is creating an abstract painting, similar to a plot of alphabets that mix and overlap, allude to the beauty of the contamination of languages.&nbsp;</div>

A self produced event with the goal of becoming a meeting point, comparison of ideas, styles and ways of living and producing urban art. San Cataldo, the sea cost adjacent to the city of Lecce. A magnificent and sadly abandoned place that has lost all its identity and attractiveness during the years, vanishing under the shadow of more famous costs in South Italy.</div><div>For one week this “ghost town” has lived in a creative and unexpected way. In seven days the large abandoned building in via Amerigo Vespucci, the emblem of the desolation, has been turned into a color bomb and images, rather than a building, a boat ready to sail with its load possibilities.</div><div>There was no need for a communique or an official presentation to explain to the bathers what was happening. Oltremare leaves not only beautiful murals from references to environment problem like TAP (transadriatic pipeline), but also a human and artistic experience of exchange and collaboration, imagination and comparison between those who live daily abandonment of these places and those who came from far away to help us reinvent them.</div>
