| Description | Description provided by the artist: .The object is a photo of a passerby looking at a mural by the artist Belén Deniz in the stairs of Campillín Park in Oviedo, Spain. The mural was part of the “Urban Art Contest: A World on the Move. Women and Refuge” in Oviedo (Spain) and portrays a muslim woman wearing a veil.. .The photo shows a mural that was painted by Belén Deniz in the stairs of Campillín Park in Oviedo (Spain) titled 'Moving without Borders'. The mural was part of the urban art contest 'A World on the Move. Women and Refuge', which sought to visibilize the reality of migrants and refugees in the city, but especially migrant and/or regugee women. .The mural can be considered an appropriation of urban public space by migrant and/or refugee women, but it is particularly significant because it shows an encounter between a passerby, a white woman who was staring at the mural, and the muslim woman from the painting, as if both women were in a conversation with each other. For a moment, they seem to be negotiating or acknowledging a shared space in the city, but at the same time the handrail reminds us of the presence of borders between them.. .This artwork is part of the project Footnotes on Equality: http://footnotesonequality.eu/all/ |
