The Vaqueros De Barcelona project was created to celebrate independent street artists who contribute to a richer and more colourful society; to honour those who convert the streets into a living gallery for everyone to enjoy.
Vaqueros De Barcelona was
founded by Anthon Maxus Christophersen, a writer
and film director from Denmark, and Marc Mascort
Boix, a Catalan cultural activist and detonator
of the project, together with the anthropologist
Ana Manaia.
The name “"Vaqueros De Barcelona"
(Cowboys from Barcelona) was chosen
because, since the city passed the Civic law
of 2005 that outlawed street art, the conditions
of the Barcelona artists have become more and
more like the Wild West
The Vaqueros De Barcelona project is actualized in two ways: Wild Painting Parties and the making of a documentary.
The goal for the Wild Painting Party is to bring artists from Barcelona to other European cities to paint with other great artists. The local public is invited in for a great view and a party. Right now we’re looking for places in Lisbon and other European cities as well. We’re looking forward to bringing great art to the rest of Europe.
We have already been spending time filming and interviewing many artists. Right now we are talking with production companies and looking for the right format for the movie, in order to transform the vast beauty of the artists and their art to the big screen.
Vaqueros De Barcelona will be
coordinating the decoration of the venue for
this fourth edition of DJs CONTRA LA
FAM Festival.
