Huelva does not yet have urban art route. The artists opt for one that includes all the authors with murals in the streets of the city and that has a computer application for mobile devices, through which interested people can find out about the works that they will be able to see in their city tour.
On the other hand, artists demand more support from the town hall from the capital of Huelva and that festivals and urban art contests be organized in the city.
The creation of an urban art route is one of the electoral commitments of the mayor of Huelva, Gabriel Cruz.
Seba Window, artistically known as Wild Welva, proposes that for the Huelva urban art route an app be created with a geolocator of the works and links to the artists’ web pages. He pointed out that it is useless to produce printed information brochures, which in weeks or months will become obsolete, since urban art is perishable and there are works that are deteriorating and disappearing from the urban landscape of the city.
He explained that if the information on the urban art route is offered online, it can be updated as the murals disappear. Besides, with the app, interested persons could directly access the authors’ pages “see their works and decide which ones they want to see.” He indicated that it could be the authors themselves or the users of the application who would notify the disappearance of a mural or qualify it as “work ghost ”and be able to keep it in the app in photographic format.
Seba Ventana commented that a printed diptych “It may be very nice, but it would be a useless waste of money.”
Adrián Pérez (Man o Matic) He is a bit skeptical about the Huelva City Council promoting an urban art route. He pointed out that the local administration did not take care of and conserved “the largest open-air urban art museum” in the surroundings of the site of the old Carmen market, where the artist concentrated the bulk of his work, more than twenty paintings, of which less than half remain.
He stressed that “if they are going to do the urban art route, great, that they carry out an investigation of the works that exist in the city and define it”, so that Huelva and visitors can see the pictorial works that are distributed in the streets from the capital of Huelva. Pérez stressed that “it is always positive to give culture a push, it is necessary, it is to give it quality”, to which he added that “it is an art that is there, if that push is not given it loses the projection What she should have”.
He commented that urban art “is a fundamental part” of the life of a city, so it “should be better looked at.” He stated that the urban art route must contemplate all artists, “collect all the construction site What’s on the street”.
The artist explained that “art is free interpretation of the passerby, it is unique and it is beautiful, it is an art that comes to life and is interrelated with the citizen ”.
For its part, Victor Romero (Konestilo) He stressed that “there are many dividing walls of buildings that could be covered with this type of murals.” Romero regretted that in Huelva “the City Council does not organize contests and festivals of urban art and they could be done”.
Consider that the Alonso Sánchez Park, which is not given any use, “could be a perfect canvas to hold festivals, bring local and foreign artists and hold events, which are widely accepted and are held everywhere except here.”
Romero stressed that “we are more and more artists and we do more things and it is a pity that we do not have any kind of support for”.
