Details: Walk&Talk is a public art festival that takes place in the island of São Miguel, Azores. It counts with artists from all over the world to create a route of site-specific instalations, with goal of creating relations with space, culture and local communities. A trully outdoor museum.
LATA 65 - Urban Art Workshop for Seniors was invited by Walk&Talk to be present at the 4th edition of the festival for a workshop, between 21th and 22th of July, with the old local community. The result was a big magic wall made by a group of 15 happy old people.
We changed a bit the format for this festival, doing all 4 modules in just 2 days.
day 02 _ module 03 + module 04
03 _ Learning the STENCIL technique, this is the easiest street intervention technique to apprehend and appreciate and that also underpins the work of renowned artists, whose works will be presented during the first phase of this module.
In a second phase, the participant will draw and cut their own stencils (molds), which subsequently will be used in the execution of the mural.
04 _ Execution of the MURAL, with the tagproject and the stencils created previously acting as support for the drawing and painting .
Depending on the dynamics of the group, it may be created a common theme that will be explored by everyone in the painting of the mural.
The trainers will paint the base of mural, that will later be filled in by all participants
