La Nuu in the Neighbourhoods. The faces of the city. Intervention by artist Teo Vázquez in the streets of the Les Torres neighbourhood.

The faces of the city is a contextual art project of situation, intervention and citizen participation that will take place during this year's festival.

La Nuu in the neighbourhoods starts this year but with the intention of being reproduced in different neighbourhoods of the city of Rubí. One for each edition. This year this experience begins in the neighbourhood of Les Torres.

The artistic action will be carried out by the photographer and urban artist Teo Vázquez.

 

 

One of the objectives of this project is the vindication of the periphery as a centre of cultural production and consumption. The aim is to develop on the periphery of the periphery in order to decentralise the cultural dynamics of the city of Rubí.

The neighbourhood of Las Torres de Rubí, located in the southern part of the town centre, is currently one of the most densely populated neighbourhoods in the city. In recent years, nine newcomers, mainly from Morocco and Latin America, have become our neighbours.

 

The name Les Torres comes from a group of residential houses (‘towers’) that the Massana family built in the 1920s, but it was not until 1968 that work began on the construction of the large blocks of flats that now make up the Les Torres complex itself.
