Parees, Oviedo’s contextual festival of muralism

Parees is a cultural, social, and artistic event in which the community and artists engage to offer the city a new perspective through its walls.

Main Axes

Muralism is a form of art that goes beyond traditional conventions. It brings together various techniques, styles, and artistic expressions, finding its canvas on the walls of our cities. However, muralism is not just a matter of aesthetics; it is a profound social commitment. Every stroke, every color, every image tells a story, expresses an idea, or evokes an emotion.

In Asturias, muralism has become an increasingly important form of artistic and social expression. The Parees festival, held annually in Oviedo, is an example of this. This festival gathers artists from around the world to create murals that reflect the cultural identity of Asturias and the social values of the community.
