MAHOU SPACE
2020
Since the beginning of Urvanity in 2017, Mahou has been part of our project and is doing it again in this fourth edition. For four years we have been working together to develop cultural and artistic activations: from our Talks program to the Urban Safaris in the capital. An example of our purpose to reconnect people with art and its environment that will be repeated in this edition. At the heart of our fair, at the COAM on Hortaleza Street, Queen Andrea will be in charge of completely transforming the Espacio Mahou space dedicated to Talks. The mythical graffiti artist from New York in the 90s, one of the most recognized female artists on the scene, will come to Madrid to give the space a full-color twist. But in our fourth edition we went a step further and took our collaboration to the streets, where Mahou and we come from, to carry out the project of mural interventions with artists from all over the world to beautify the center of Madrid and bring art to all Madrilenians and those who visit us.
Taste the best art thanks to Mahou and Urvanity!

5pm-6pm – THE NEW CHALLENGES OF THE SECTOR// B-Murals, Furiosa Gallery & La Causa Galeria
The gallery of the 21st Century possesses new challenges and has new goals. To give visibility to new languages, to empower new discourses and to legitimize the artistic work above all, to promote and boost these new proposals within the Art market. These three independent gallery owners will give us first-hand information about their experiences, their aims and their way of approaching the projects.
6pm-7pm – THERE IS NO ART WITHOUT RISK // Abel Iglesias, Ana Barriga and GVIIIE, artists
They say Art, to be considered as such, must move. Others say it must disturb and then there are those who simply applaud its eternal search for beauty. But beyond its emotional, agitating or complacent capacity, there is one aspect that is very little remarked: its expeditiousness. Being expeditious and taking chances, sometimes literally, is an increasingly important trait for gaining relevance, notoriety and attention. In this meeting between daring artists we will throw questions into the air with the aim of discovering what is behind the work of those who constantly challenge their fears.
7pm-8pm – CLIMATIC DUALISM // Sixe Paredes & Grip Face, artists
Today, where contradictions of modern life clash with the welfare society, Art, once again, conforms itself as a tool of protest, along with other cultural manifestations, to create a movement of collective consciousness that makes noise in the face of the problem of climate change. Artists propose solutions for sustainable art in the presence of plastic oceans, air pollution or tons of waste. A dialogue between two artists who contribute with their grain of sand to the struggle.
