IDENTITY(S) PROJECT by Kognitif

In July 2010, the Badalona IDENTITY(S) project was developed by Kognitif, a platform of artists and professionals that synergise for creative cultural events. The project, a series of urban interventions, aimed to incite a positive outlook on the growth of the city, to encourage locals to participate with forming a neighbourhood identity, and to promote social transformation and unity through public art.

THE FISH: The Star of Badalona

A mural project led by the Barri Groc, a collective of three Spanish visual artists based in Badalona. They are Max Gärtner, Carlos Garci and Lucas Milà. The image depicts people communally pulling a Koi Carp kite. The fish represents an important part of Badalona’s trade industry.

THE FACE: The Sum of All the People

A mural design led by New York Cuban artist Jorge Rodriguez-Gerada, depicting the ‘Face of Badalona’ after merging 34 photographs of people from each of the 34 districts of the municipality. Previously, the individual photographs had been scanned with a 3D system and connected through a digital process to obtain a single "composite identity that speaks of a common social identity."
