General information

The “OLA URBANA” is a mural event that was born from an alliance between the three most important cities in Bolivia in order to strengthen urban art and the cultural diversity of the country through the promotion of national talents and the circulation of international artists. The works included in this event will be carried out by the surrounding neighborhoods in the cities mentioned before with the aim of making art accessible and of enhancing and redefining stigmatized zones.

It is important to emphasize that urban art in Bolivia has been a success thanks to the local visual tradition and the intense work of different groups in the country. And that, at the moment, this event features works created by outstanding artists recognized at the worldwide level. To mention just a few, we want to highlight: INTI, BLU, ERICAILCANE, DECERTOR, BASTARDILLA, whose contributions have enabled the transformation of Bolivia into a reference point for this discipline in South America.

Main features and goals of the crowdfunding campaign

  1. To intervene with 30 large murals the departments of La Paz, Santa Cruz and Cochabamba. 10 works per department.

  2. To carry out research work shared between the participants and the local institutions, in order to reclaim and capture in the murals forgotten elements of the cultural and ancestral identity of each department.

  3. To use a circulation system of national and international artists in the different events and departments, within a temporary period of one month.

Why this is important

To strengthen the urban art movement in Bolivia, promoting reflection on issues of cultural identity by intervening in three departments, in order to translate elements of Bolivia's diversity into large-scale murals, redefining peripheral neighborhoods and involving the inhabitants of those same neighborhoods.

Goals of the crowdfunding campaign

  1. To strengthen the alliance and give continuity to the three  emblematic national events dedicated to urban art: Bienal de Arte Urbano (Cbba.), Manifiesto Urbano (Sta. Cruz) y Street Marka (La Paz).
  2. To reclaim elements of the ancestral cultural diversity of the country and capture those in murals in the national territory.
  3. To optimize the circulation of national and international artists to promote the mutual exchange of knowledge
  4. To promote a process of self-training and alternative validation of knowledge through urban art for adolescents between the ages of 14 and 16 years.
  5. To contribute to the touristic promotion of the cultural wealth of Bolivia inside and outside of the country through dissemination through communication strategies and new technologies.
