Tambourines. Tribute to the Asturian woman (Oviedo-España). CCC's Street Art Contest #121

This week I am flying to participate in the contest with one of the many murals in the city of Oviedo. Specifically, I present this peculiar mural where you can see a group of women playing each of them a tambourine, which is strategically placed on the face of each of them.

This mural represents the tambourine players of the group "No estamos todas" (We are not all of us), which emerged as a group protesting against male violence and as a feminist association a few years ago due to the increase of cases of male violence in my country. On the other hand, the location has been very successful as it is in Amparo Pedregal Street, who is a professor of history at the University of Oviedo and is one of the biggest promoters of feminism in the city of Oviedo.

The mural was painted by the Uruguayan artists Colectivo Licuado. They met with the group of tambourine players and with other alternative folklore groups such as the FolkQueer group in order to find inspiration for the mural. After these meetings, the artists perceived in these groups the importance of the communitarian aspect over the individualistic one and that is why in the mural the faces of all the pandereteras appear covered by their tambourines, which in turn resemble moons that catch all the light of the composition.

I hope you like my contribution to the contest.

Regards.
