DISTRITO VERTICAL, VALLADOLID, SPAIN.

“ The rural exodus and the loss of identity, or how to progress without losing roots. ”

I made this wall in July, during Distrito Vertical Festival, in Valladolid, Spain. More precisely at the neighborhood of España, on the outskirts of the city. It is a humble neighborhood that arose spontaneously and confusingly, made up of immigrants of rural origin who abandoned their work in the fields in search of a better future at the beginning of the 20th century.
Here you can still appreciate his marginal, isolated and suburban character, but humble and grateful.

Miguel Delibes, a Spanish novelist, said that “If the sky in Castilla is high, it is because the peasants will have raised it from looking at it so much”.
