The street art project B–MURALS was recently launched in Barcelona giving room to a series of murals, conferences, exhibitions, workshops, music and much more curated by the art association Difusor and developed at the legendary Nau Bostik, an old factory transformed into a self-managed cultural space.
Among other things, B–MURALS Festival & Conferences invited a series of prominent street artists to intervene the different outdoor spaces of the building with both permanent and pieces.

The main theme of the conference this year is ‘The meaning of mural art outside public spaces’ featuring key speakers like Rafael Schacter, urban art curator; Raphaël Cruyt, director of the MIMA Museum in Brussels; and Peter Ernst Coolen, creator of Street Art Today and Amsterdams street art museum.
B–MURALS has also given room to two new spaces for workshops and exhibitions. The first one, the B–MURALS gallery, opened with ‘Sobreexposiciones y Curas’ which includes works by artist in residence Ampparito. The second one houses “Videncia y evidencia” presenting, among other things, works by Valencian artist Gambin Rot.
