The occupied Errekaleor district of Vitoria-Gasteiz has a new mural. The reason for this is the anniversary of 3 March, when the police killed five workers in an assembly held in the Zaramaga church. One of them, Romualdo Barroso, was a neighbour of Errekaleor and has subsequently been arrested. For this reason, this mural intends to recall what happened, making a special mention of Salvador Puig Antich, anarchist and antifascist Catalan deceased in garrote on 2 March 1974. "The neighborhood culture team conveyed to me the idea of integrating a mural image that reminded Puig Antich and that's what I've done," explained the author.

With this work entitled Sena, 21 are the murals that make up this museum located under the sky. Street art is the first Alavesa woman to make a mark in this neighborhood. The work, 65 square meters, is represented at the top by different grays, through which the Police removes workers who are related to gas. This work has a Picassian inspiration and, accompanying images full of concern and despair, you can find the symbol of March 3. "I wanted to use a short color palette to fill it with contrasts and create the work with a symbolic value. That's why the colors that most appear are black, white, gray and red," explains Lekue.

The most well-known murals and artists who have left their traces in this neighborhood are: Blu (Italy), Tomás Facio (Argentina), Barricada Gráfica and El Yako (Chile), Ocu and Keroz (Romania) or Nicole Salgar (United States) have been elected to receive Nicolás Salgar. Also on these walls can be found works of Escif, Manolo Mesa, Zora and Juli; Andrea Btoy or El Rey de la Ruina. Far from the traditional tourist circuit of the city, this alternative artistic route has its origin in the consolidation of the occupied neighborhood, an artistic concern of the locals, and when they began to express their messages on the walls. Over time, Errekaleor has invited artists from all over the world to turn the neighborhood into a benchmark for street art followers.
