The Mata Castle Museum brought together the cultural sector to launch a new participatory process around the final project that could lead Las Palmas de Gran Canaria to become European Capital of Culture 2031. Initiatives and practitioner profiles can be submitted until 15 July through an online form available at www.lpgc2031.com

The Castillo de Mata Museum has embarked on a new chapter as a space for artistic creation, dialogue, and experimentation with REBEL WALLS. Urban Stories. This is a multidisciplinary artistic initiative, driven by Las Palmas de Gran candidacy to become the European Capital of Culture 2031 (LPGC’31), which opens the doors of one of the city’s historic spaces to urban art and places it at the center of the cultural program.

Last Saturday, the Castillo de Mata Museum was transformed into a space for open creation and contemporary dialogue with the opening of REBEL WALLS. Urban Stories, an exhibition project promoted by Las Palmas de Gran Canaria’s bid to become European Capital of Culture 2031, LPGC’31, which supports urban art as a legitimate and transformative cultural expression, capable of fostering a collective identity.

The mayor, Carolina Darias, the councilor for Culture, Josué Íñiguez, the councilor for Sports, Carla Campoamor, and the team from the LPGC'31 Technical Office, together with Sitapha Savané, president of the Club, present the collaboration agreement between the City Council and the sports organization.

The city consolidates international alliances and showcases its ‘Geography Rebellion’ at the launch of the Finnish city’s cultural year on the edge of the Arctic Circle
