A mural by Taquen that transforms the banks of the Riu Sec into a living tribute to the native fauna and flora of Cerdanyola del Vall\u00e8s, born from a participatory process with the children of the city.<\/em><\/h3>\n

The artist: Taquen<\/h3>\n

Taquen is a muralist based in Madrid, specialising in large-scale interventions in public space. His work focuses on the nature and native species of the territories where he works. Through his murals, he proposes a reconnection between the urban environment and the natural world that surrounds it \u2014 a reminder that nature is not far away, but runs right through the city.<\/p>\n

The artwork: \u201cRibera del Riu Sec\u201d \u2014 mural Riu Sec Cerdanyola<\/h3>\n

Location: <\/strong>Banks of the Riu Sec, between the bridge on Carrer de Francesc Layret and the Passeig del Pont \u2014 Cerdanyola del Vall\u00e8s.<\/a><\/p>\n

Ribera del Riu Sec<\/em> is a large-scale mural on the banks of the Riu Sec, visible from the Passeig de les Ac\u00e0cies. The work pays tribute to the species that inhabit the riverbank: the white poplar, tamarisk shrubs, and birds such as the blue rock thrush, the robin, and the sparrowhawk. In the background, the iconic C sculpture from Cerdanyola\u2019s roundabout<\/strong> anchors the piece to the territory and to the collective memory of the municipality.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator css=””][vc_video link=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/74dFgnQICIU?si=khA4Jb1YRB_GISlC” css=””][vc_separator css=””][vc_column_text css=””]\n

A participatory process with the children of Cerdanyola<\/h3>\n

The mural was born from a meeting between Taquen and pupils from several schools in the city, within the framework of the Consell d’Infants i Adolescents de Cerdanyola (CIAC)<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 the city\u2019s Children and Young People\u2019s Council. The children shared the elements, colours, and shapes they wanted to see on the wall. The artist gathered their ideas, prepared sketches, and together they chose one. The C from the roundabout was one of the most repeated requests: a symbol the children recognised as their own, and one that had to be there.<\/p>\n

A work in dialogue with the territory<\/h3>\n

In this way, the mural operates on two levels at once. On one hand, it is an artistic piece that engages with the vegetation and natural dynamics of the riverbank. On the other, it is the visible outcome of a process of children\u2019s civic participation \u2014 a generation that looks at the river and wants to see life in it.<\/p>\n

Just as the Riu Sec runs quietly through the city, the fauna and flora of its banks go largely unseen. The mural Riu Sec Cerdanyola<\/strong> brings them to the foreground, reminding us that the nature we share is often just two streets away.<\/p>\n

Projecte Fluvial \u2013 Cerdanyola del Vall\u00e8s<\/h3>\n

This intervention is part of the Projecte Fluvial<\/strong>, driven by the Ajuntament de Cerdanyola del Vall\u00e8s<\/strong><\/a> and produced by Rebobinart<\/strong><\/a>, with the participation of the Consell d\u2019Infants i Adolescents de Cerdanyola (CIAC).<\/a><\/p>\n

The project was born from the children\u2019s desire to make the river more their own. It is part of a long tradition of children\u2019s participation in Cerdanyola, which has given rise to facilities and spaces designed through the eyes of childhood. This year, the river took centre stage. And art became the tool for transformation.<\/p>\n
