We are a multidisciplinary team with roots in graffiti, born in
late 2001 in Madrid, Spain. We develope our work mainly in the
public space. We have carried out projects in South Africa, USA, UK
Mxico, Norway, Cuba, Colombia or Panam.
We met at 15, when we painted the walls of our neighborhood.
We are friends.Our headquarter is in Madrid but we spend the day
from here to there, between paintbuckets, computers and ping-
pong games. We love what we do. We understand our work as a
tool for transforming the street and creating bondings between
people. We feel that we have a responsibility with the city and time
where we live.
Weve been invited to show our work to the Biennale di Venezia,
and the Biennial of South of Panam, and taken part in exhibi-
tions in Art Centers such as the Reina Sofa Museum, Casa Encen-
dida, DA2 Museum or CAC Mlaga. Right now we collaborate with
Ponce+Robles Gallery in Madrid.
We have collaborated with foundations such as ONCE (Span-
ish national organisation for the blind), and some others have
acquired artworks by us, like Oxfam Intermon, Antonio Gala or
Universidad de Alcal. Weve given lectures at TEDxMadrid and
some others Art and social transformation simposiums. Also at
Universities such as Complutense de Madrid, TEC de Monterrey,
Menndez Pelayo or Universidad de Sevilla.
The term Boa Mistura, from the portuguese for good mixture,
refers to the diversity of style and perspectives of each member.

BOA MISTURAs project LUZ NAS VIELAS has been carried
out in Vila Brasilndia, So Paulo, during January 2012. The
project is part of the CROSSROADS series: Boa Misturas
Participative Urban Art Interventions to modify rundown
communities using art as a tool for change and inspiration.
Between the 4th and 16th of January BOA MISTURA had the
opportunity to live in Brasilndia, hosted by the Gonalves
family, having this way direct contact with the community.
After preliminary studies and analysis, the defined framework
are the narrow and winding streets that connects the urban
net, known as VIELAS and BECOS. The dialogue with residents
and their active participation has been decisive for the Project.
BELEZA, FIRMEZA, AMOR, DOURA and ORGULHO are
the concepts chosen by the collective for the interventions.
LUZ NAS VIELAS has been made possible with the sponsor-
ship of the Embassy of Spain in Brazil and the collaboration of
Singapore Airlines, Montana Colors and the Spanish Cultural
Center in So Paulo.
The results will be presented in So Paulo during the event
Virada Sustentvel the 4th and 5th of June, 2012.

La escala de la obra (ms de 2000m2 pintados) permite que
sea habitada, cambiando a cada instante por la interaccin
con ella. No se trata slo de la fachada, los corredores y n-
cleos de escaleras han sido tambin intervenidos, converti-
dos as en abstractas composiciones de color que cobran vida
con la ropa tendida o cuando alguien se asoma al balcn.
El proyecto, impulsado por la Bienal del Sur en Panam,
forma parte de la serie CROSSROADS, con la que Boa Mistura
est utilizando el Arte Urbano participativo como herramien-
ta dinamizadora en comunidades carentes, implicando a los
vecinos en la mejora de su propio espacio vital.
The scale of the work (more than 2.000 m2) allows it to be in-
habited, changing at every moment with the interaction with
it. It is not just the faade, corridors and stairways were also
painted and converted into abstract color compositions that
are the new environment for daily scenes like clothes hanging
or people at the balcony.
The project was sponsorized by the Bienal del Sur in Panam,
and is part of the CROSSROADS series, in which Boa Mistura
is using participative urban art as a tool for encourage in run
down communities, working with the local residents in the im-
provement of their own space.

The market is located at the very heart of La Latina district. La
Latina is one of the most characteristic neighborhood of the
city of Madrid, due to the beauty of its urban planning (XVI-XVII
century) and its inner life during the weekend, with the tapas
bars and the Rastro.
The actual building was built in 1958. It is a free-standing
building, with a commercial groundfloor and brick faades.
The most characteristic elements of the building are the six
concrete domes on the roof.
Despite being a symbol of the area, the market has suffered a
several damage, to the point that in the past few years there
has been much speculation with the possibility of demolish
it, and construct a mall in the site. Now that market needed a
change. Something that makes it visible and young again.
reas de intervencin
Plano de situacin
Hemos cambiado el color de cada una de ellas modificando
el paisaje de la zona de una forma contundente. Los colores
nos hablan del optimismo, y, de alguna manera, exteriorizan
lo que pasa dentro del Mercado. Todos ellos los podramos
encontrar, de forma cotidiana, mientras hacemos la compra.
Desde lo alto de una de ellas, la azul, en un punto concreto,
puede leerse la palabra COLOR escrita en blanco sobre las
otras cpulas. Nos pareca bonito, dejar una sorpresa en la
cubierta. La tcnica que hemos utilizado, el anamorfismo,
modifica la perspectiva aplanando el espacio.
