Programa de Arte Urbana
XALABAS - Comunidade no Centro

Achada Grande Frente, Praia, Cabo Verde
2017-2020

The Urban Art Program of the Community in the Center project included 8 workshops/artistic residencies between 2018 and 2019 with international and Cape Verdean artists, and a final festival in 2020. International artists of the caliber of NemO’s, Finok, Falko One, Dreph, and VHILS participated, alongside 40 Cape Verdean artists and enthusiasts.

The program was based on the concept of public intervention as a moment of collaboration and dialogue with the residents and shopkeepers of Achada Grande Frente. The participating artists carried out their activities in residency, ultimately leaving their works on the walls and in the environments of the neighborhood. Below are images of some moments and works produced (see the Xalabas project’s Instagram for a gallery of all the works created).
