The artist Javier Castilla, Sake, has launched the City of Baena urban art route, a project that arises “as a result of requests that have been made to me to know where part of the works in Baena were located.”
Sake explains that the route is basically a street map of Baena where the 19 works that make it up. It starts at the Tourist Office and makes a complete tour of different neighborhoods and streets of Baena, especially in the historic helmet. The objective has been “to bring everything together to give greater visibility to this artistic conglomerate that is located in Baena.”
This personal initiative was born with 19 works that can be visited, many by Sake and others by artists who have collaborated in the project “selflessly” such as José Luis Buitrago, Ione Domínguez, from the Canary Islands; Duo Amazonas, from Colombia and Argentina; Apitatan, from Ecuador, or Silva wire, from Argentina. “Different artistic expressions linked to urban art”, adds Sake.
The duration of the path is variable, two to three hours, although with the advantage that it does not have to be completed the same day, it can be divided into days and zones. Something that can be done thanks to the fact that the route is available through the Art Baniana page on Facebook and Instagram, in a PDF format that you can download and have on your phone and in a QR code.
The intention is that from October it will be carried out once a month a scheduled route so that in small groups a tour of the works can be made with Sake as a guide.
Art Baniana is a project that advocates, disseminates and bets on urban art and artistic and cultural interventions in rural areas.
Javier Castilla, Sake, insists that the end of this route is only put in value the works that we have in Baena, an urban art activity that has been carried out in the town for years and, above all, “add them to Baena’s tourist offer”.
