PARTH OF THE MONTH | October | Memories of the 28 |
Aumentar 
Overview of the site specific intervention by Elton Hipólito, artist of the Cistern Gallery, at the Carris Museum made in May of 2019. The mural was created with water-based paint and mineral pigments extracted from the local earth. Named “Memories of the 28”, the painting pays tribute to the history of CARRIS, the traditional rout of the tram 28 and the city.
This composition was based on a research in the museum's library, in which we observe elements that refer to the origins of Carris and the relationship of people who use this collective transport, both past and present.
You can visit this artwork outside the Carris Museum on the second Nucleus.
