OBSERVARIA 2017
‘ObservaRia’* is a bird watching event, held biennially, held in the Municipality of Estarreja.
In 2017, the organization decided again to score this event with an Urban Art action and Mistaker Maker challenged them to take the Art to the center of all their actions, to Salreu course (BioRia, Estarreja).
The invited artist for this edition was the renowned illustrator André da Loba, who developed a piece that covered entirely a building existing in this area.
'Adalão', the name given by André da Loba to this piece, whose character transforms continuously to each (new) facade, is an “homage of the folk wind that makes everything come to life around these parts”.
* ‘ObservaRia’ means something like ‘Watching the River’
