About us

Mission

Rebobinart was founded in 2012 under a clear social philosophy that links urban art with social and cultural revitalisation in public spaces. From our entity we promote an urban art vision placing it at the service of society through the creation of projects that are rooted to the territories. All our art projects aim to add value to the urban spaces while creating a new communication path with the citizens by arousing a critical spirit and conveying social messages.

In this regard, we have developed a comprehensive programme of artistic projects in public spaces that includes large murals, community murals, artists’ exchanges, exhibitions, festivals or participative workshops. All of them claim the art ability to act as a tool for cultural and social transformation.
