Barcelona is a city that also expresses itself through its walls. Beyond museums and galleries, street art is part of the urban landscape and the city’s creative pulse. In this context, Nou Sentit Urbà was created as an initiative that promotes urban art as a tool for cultural and social transformation.
What is Nou Sentit Urbà?
Nou Sentit Urbà is an artistic project that brings urban art to the district of Nou Barris, highlighting public space as a place for creation, meeting and cultural expression.
Through artistic interventions, the project transforms walls and urban spaces in the district, fostering the connection between art, territory and community, and offering a new perspective on one of Barcelona’s neighbourhoods with the strongest social identity.
Urban art in Nou Barris
The district of Nou Barris becomes the main stage of this project, establishing itself as a benchmark for urban art in Barcelona. The works engage in dialogue with the surroundings, the history of the neighbourhood and its residents, contributing to a more diverse, creative and inclusive city.
Discovering Nou Barris through street art allows visitors to explore a less touristy and more authentic Barcelona, where urban culture is experienced through proximity and participation.
Works and artists: urban art as a collective narrative in Nou Barris
The works of Nou Sentit Urbà transform the public space of Nou Barris into an open-air gallery where each intervention offers its own perspective on the territory and its community.
Memòria Viva de Nou Barris by Mariana Duarte Santos and La Torre del Rellotge com a reflex del passat by Sshhozzy establish a direct dialogue with the historical memory of the district, while Les dones de la Trinitat by Udatxo highlights the role of women in shaping the urban narrative.
The relationship between nature, environment and sustainability appears in proposals such as Reforestant i la flora silvestre by Doaoa, complemented by the chromatic dynamism of Color en moviment by Dima Korma.Works such as Força plural by Jay Kaes and Paisatge compartit: tangram col·laboratiu Zona Nord by Rice reinforce the idea of diversity and collective creation. The project is further enriched by interventions such as Teulades i Cor by Colectivo Basurama, La Barcelona amagada by Octavi Serra, Back stage by Wedo Goás, Viatges d’anada by Taquen, and Espiral a través del marc (vida) by LPVD*A, forming an artistic mosaic that reflects the vibrant and plural identity of Nou Barris.
