POLINIZA DOS: Valencia Campus as Living Mural Lab

POLINIZA DOS: Valencia Campus as Living Mural Lab

POLINIZA DOS (or “Polinizados”) is the annual urban-art program at the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV), running since 2006 and turning the Vera campus into a working outdoor studio each May. It’s organized by UPV’s Área de Acción Cultural and built around site-specific murals by invited artists—recent lineups have included 108, Lidia Cao, Musa71, Felipe Pantone, Gordo Pelota, Wasted Rita and Catarina Lira Pereira—alongside public programs like artist talks, guided walkthroughs (often led by painting professor Joan Peiró), and family workshops under “Menudo Poliniza”.

Some past editions have also added fanzine markets and campus exhibitions. With support from the Generalitat Valenciana’s Department of Education, Culture and Sport, the festival’s 20th edition (May 12–16, 2025) emphasized some of the “gestural” languages of contemporary muralism and produced fresh interventions – with an educational track open to the public. The works typically remain on campus from one edition to the next, a sort of living record of Valencia’s evolving perspectives and voices in street culture.

Our special thanks to photographer Luis Olive Bulbena, who provided some images of his recent visit to the campus.

BSA-Images-Week-Jan2015

It’s our first Images of the Week of the new year and we’ve missed you! The city is recovering from disasters and triumphs and heartbreaks and infatuations as normal. The police union is attacking the Mayor in the sky and elsewhere, the NY Times is questioning their tactics, the city is grieving violence against two police with a memorial in the street, the protestors spurred by police brutality continue to demonstrate, the mayor marks his first year, a Staten Island congressman resigns in disgrace, a million people were in Times Square three days ago, the minimum wage is going up a little, and liberal lion and 3 time governor Mr. Cuomo passed away New Years Day.

Here’s to you and your family and a great tumultuous spectacular 2015 that is in store for all of us on the street, in boardrooms, behind cash registers, on walls, in galleries, museums – wherever you are. We’re celebrating the creative spirit wherever we find it and when it comes to Street Art and graffiti and public art you can be sure there will be plenty of new things to see.

Here’s our weekly interview with the street, this week featuring $howta, Clint Mario, Crummy Gummy, Dame Edna, Damien Mitchell, Don’t Fret, Eurotrash040, Fred63, Gordo Pelota, Jerkface, Jon Burgerman, Kashink, Korn, Myth, Smartcrew, Specter, Sweet Toof, and Yenta
