Location

This urban art manifestation is located in the Carcavelos area, a residential area that is part of the urban fabric of the municipality of Matosinhos. Its location within a residential neighborhood reflects the intention to bring artistic expressions into spaces lived daily by the community, outside the more obvious tourist routes.

Part of an Integrated Cultural Project

The artwork in Carcavelos is part of a broader set of artistic interventions carried out within the scope of the "Up There" project. This cultural initiative's main objective was to enrich the landscape of Matosinhos through the creation of large-scale murals on building facades. The selection of locations aimed at valuing different areas of the municipality, using art as a tool for transformation and beautification of public space.

Contribution to Urban Diversity

The presence of this art in Carcavelos contributes to the diversification of Matosinhos' cultural and visual offering. By integrating different neighborhoods and urbanizations into an urban art route, the project sought to highlight the richness and variety of the municipal fabric. Street art, accessible to all, invites a deeper discovery of the city, encouraging visitors to explore beyond the usual points and to find beauty in unexpected contexts.
