Street Art In Andhra Pradesh

                        Javier López, one of those behind the citizen-led transformation, said: “We’ve converted the village into a huge open-air gallery. We thought that putting together a museum like this would be impossible – but we’re doing it.”As the weekend got underway, the residents of the village became more interested, with many of them excitedly flagging down the artists and asking them to paint murals on the facade of their houses. The number of works in the village soon swelled to 44.The museum came into existence just as villagers were emerging from a bitter debate over a proposal to build a toxic waste incinerator in the village, said the mayor, Roberto Salisa Castillo. The proposal divided Fanzara, with some arguing that it was a necessity in order for it to buck the trend of Spain’s dying villages.

                       Those behind the museum say this is just the beginning. The project, which includes a monthly roster of events, has been expanded to include other art forms, be they theatre, performance art or music, while the village is gearing up to host another group of street artists in July.
