An opportunity to give voice to letters as a form of communication that is little used by today's young people and to appreciate that a piece of writing comes to life beyond the coldness and speed of social networks and a small gesture that costs nothing. and that older people will be grateful. What's more, it will serve to brighten these days, to share moments of lectures and make them feel like protagonists of this surprise experience. 

NEW GRAFFITI AT THE VALLHONRAT MUSEUM

The entrance of the Vallhonrat de Rubí Museum Foundation, in May 2023, has renewed its image offering visitors a mural painted by the students of the 1st year of the Artistic Baccalaureate of l'INS La Serreta and leaving part of the old mural on the interior façade Created by EDRA in 2012.

The new mural reflects the evolution of human communication through time, which flows like the water of a river through seven fundamental historical stages: Prehistory with the typical cave paintings, Babylon with cuneiform writing, Egypt with its hieroglyphs, Greece with myths and oral culture, the end of the Middle Ages with Gutenberg and the printing press, the 9th and 20th centuries, with the digital age where communication through social networks is immediate and crosses borders.

This graffiti will be incorporated into the Ruta d'Street Art, organized by the Projection Service of the City of Rubí Town Hall.
