We understand how our role to encourage other spaces, including private, can invite artists to produce other large murals. The mill will be the first in a series of speeches that will do in other parts of the city”.

The first mural was designed by visual artist Cristiane Pagnoncelli, with collaboration of designer Fred Freire within the Festival Subtropikal. The blocked lettering was inspired by the architecture of the old building, where the word LIVELINESS can be read from a distance like a puzzle.

Move the scene, be part, support this beautiful movement that is in the Subtropikal Festival. When I was invited to do the mural in the Rebouças Mill I wondered what message I would like to pass. I wanted something simple and straightforward and it was according to what I believe and I've been searching for the city where I live”, Cristina account.
