The town of Cañada Rosal will participate in the third edition of the PLAZES programme, promoted by the Diputación de Sevilla. A wall of the municipal pool will be transformed into a mural by the artist Fátima de Juan.
The Sevillian artist Fátima de Juan will be responsible for transforming one of the walls of the municipal pool in Cañada Rosal into an outdoor work of art. The intervention is part of the third edition of the PLAZES programme, promoted by the Culture and Citizenship Area of the Diputación de Sevilla.
The initiative, which began in 2024, aims to create a provincial network of mural art. This time, the project will reach Cañada Rosal alongside other municipalities such as El Castillo de las Guardas, Paradas, El Pedroso, and Morón de la Frontera.
A site-specific work for the municipal pool
The chosen space in Cañada Rosal is one of the walls of the municipal pool. To accommodate the mural, the wall will be raised to a height of five metres, creating a suitable surface for the artist's work. The piece will be designed specifically for the location, in what is known as a site-specific intervention.
Fátima de Juan, selected for this edition, will develop a work integrated into the environment. Although the conceptual details will be revealed later, the project is based on a process of research, active listening, and fieldwork about the territory.
According to sources from the Diputación, each intervention arises from a process shared with the local community. The aim is for contemporary art to engage in dialogue with the history, landscape, and the residents of each municipality.
A growing network of public art
PLAZES is consolidating as a mural gallery distributed throughout the Sevillian geography. With each edition, the open cultural route grows and strengthens. The programme maintains a commitment to artists linked to Sevilla and its surroundings, providing them with technical resources and creative freedom.
The experience from previous editions shows that these works are fully integrated into the daily life of the towns. The murals have become venues for popular celebrations, meeting points for young people, and highlights of school visits. They have also inspired Christmas greetings and proposals related to carnival or the San Juan festivities.
For Cañada Rosal, this inclusion represents a reinforcement of its presence within a provincial creative network. The mural will not only beautify a public space but will also become a meeting point, dialogue, and shared memory for the residents.
With this third edition, PLAZES reaffirms the Diputación's commitment to an identity art that uses common spaces as a support and tool for social cohesion. The project, curated by Delimbo, continues to expand this open-air museum with future projection.
The residents of Cañada Rosal will be able to see the completed work in the coming months, once the wall raising and artistic intervention have been completed. The Town Hall encourages citizens to follow the programme's social media to keep up with the progress.
