Our mission

Rebobinart was born in 2012 with one conviction: urban art can genuinely transform a place. We don’t paint walls to decorate them. We create projects that take root in the neighbourhood, that involve the people who live there, and that turn public space into a conversation.

We do it every way we can: large-format murals, community murals, festivals, exhibitions and workshops.

NOU Sentit Urbà: a whole district turned into an open-air museum

18 interventions in a single district. Murals, sculptures and light installations that have turned Nou Barris into an open-air museum. Produced by Rebobinart for Barcelona City Council’s NOU Sentit Urbà programme.

Want a project like this in your neighbourhood or town?

We’ll walk you through how it works, from the first meeting to the opening.

How we got here

2012 — We start with Murs Lliures

We founded Rebobinart with Murs Lliures: walls where anyone can paint legally. It won the Bdigital Congress Award that same year and would go on to become Wallspot.

2014–2018 — Ús Barcelona

Five editions filling disused spaces with art: Glòries, Pere IV, Can Ricart, Poblenou and the former La Model prison, which drew 20,000 people. Nominated for the Time Out Awards in 2016.

2015–2016 — Recognition for our track record

First Prize for Social Entrepreneurship from Barcelona Activa, and the Cuixart Award for the organisation’s body of work.

2017 — Urban art as a community tool

“Baró Murs Vius” wins the Garci Visual Arts Awards. And Womart is born, our programme to make room for women’s talent in urban art.

2018–2019 — Wallspot grows up

Wallspot receives the Generalitat’s Civic Award and the Barcelona Metropolitan Area grant for the best tech-driven social entrepreneurship initiative.

2020–2022 — Urban art reaches public transport

Mur0ne paints 1,600 m² at the Cornellà Centre tram stop, Amaia Arrazola takes on the Besòs stop, and Elisa Capdevila fills 800 m² in Sant Martí de Provençals with stories sent in by passengers themselves. In parallel, we expand to Madrid.

2022 — ADIF: 3,113 m² at Sant Andreu station

Roc Blackblock and Miquel Wert paint “Fent via, fent vida”: the largest mural we have ever made, and the largest in any train station in Spain. That same year, the Ministry of Culture recognises Wallspot.

2023–2026 — From public space to brands

Monumenta is born, our line of hand-painted advertising on party walls: murals that don’t interrupt the city, they improve it. With Livensa Living we follow one client across three cities —Alcobendas, Getafe and Granada— and the Kromatic Festival brings seven murals to Sant Andreu de la Barca.

And above all, Nou Barris

18 large-format interventions in a single district, with Basurama, Mariana Santos, Udatxo, Shozy and Octavi Serra, for the City Council’s NOU Sentit Urbà programme. Every piece speaks about where it stands: neighbourhood struggles, migration, feminism, local memory. It is the largest project we have ever produced.

Who’s behind it

Design and creative direction
A network of +500 artists
Production and logistics

Behind every project there is a team of designers, artists and producers chosen specifically for that commission. We don’t keep a fixed staff: we build the team each wall calls for, backed by a network of more than 500 artists.

How we work

A single point of contact

Permits, wall, artist, production and safety: we handle all of it. You just decide what story you want to tell.

Every project takes root in its place

We involve residents, local shops and schools so the mural belongs to the neighbourhood rather than being a decorative object. With ADIF or with the tram network, the criterion is the same: the work has to make sense where it lives.

We pick the voice, not a template

For every wall we look for the artist who fits it, whether it’s a community wall or a series for one client across three cities.
