Kromatic de sant Andreu de la Barca, a unos 25 km de Barcelona.
Nestled just outside Barcelona, Sant Andreu de la Barca hosted the first-ever Kromatic Festival, a bold venture in large-scale street art that ran from June 3 to June 23, 2025 — transforming municipal walls into immersive murals and hopefully igniting community dialogue.
This inaugural edition featured seven expansive murals, each selected through a mix of curated invitations and an open-call process, under the artistic direction of Rebobinart in partnership with the Ajuntament de Sant Andreu de la Barca and support from the Generalitat de Catalunya.
As is often the case today, the festival extended well beyond painting walls: guided mural tours, a children’s graffiti workshop, creative hands-on zones, and a lively closing celebration at Parc Central on June 14 – with neighbors and families in tow. Our special thanks to photographer Lluis Olive-Bulbena for sharing these images with BSA readers.
