Graffiti. Arte espontáneo en Alicante
10th July ­ 30th September


La Barbera dels Aragonés Historic House and Museum. The Don Pedro Gallery

Opening hours: Tuesday to Saturday 10am ­ 1pm and Tuesday to Friday 5.30pm ­ 8.30 pm

The exhibition of images and panels in the Don Pedro Gallery (the old attic of the house) brings together a selection of graffiti from all over Alicante. These graffiti are the result of an extensive cataloguing project carried out by various investigators in the province. The exhibition combines these with original graffiti from La Barbera ­the highlight of which are the 18th and 19th century ships -, and other graffiti which have been recovered from other historic buildings in Villajoyosa, including the Olimpia Cinema.

There are various types of graffiti - carved, drawn with charcoal or painted on the walls of historic buildings. They cover a large variety of subjects including: historical, religious and everyday life scenes, etc… as well as a large number of representations of boats.

Information sheets with drawings of boats in relief (Fuser Plates) and texts in Braille are available at the exhibition. These have been created in partnership with the ONCE (National Society for the Blind), to provide visitors with visual impairments access to these displays of spontaneous art from the past.
