“Fashion Victims” – New Mural by Escif in Valencia
Escif has just painted a provocative mural in front of the Valencia store of the fast-fashion retailer Primark. The latest mural painted by Spanish street artist Escif features the actual “fashion victims”: those who work in conditions close to slavery to mass-produce at low costs clothes sold in western countries. The artist speaks against the low-cost labor from manufacturing industries of South, Southeast, and East Asia, showing the relation between consumption and poverty.
Ciao, my name is Giulia. I’m a writer specialised in street art and graffiti. Since 2011 I’ve been running this independent street art blog, which has been the media partner of major street art festivals across Europe. I was the Communication & Content Manager of Amsterdam’s STRAAT Museum and now I’m a freelance writer and content creator based in Rome. I work with creative enterprises and museums, and my writing has been published in street art catalogues and art publications.
I also write "Beyond the Walls", a monthly newsletter of editorials and critical insights into the world of urban art, and in 2024 I launched the book series "As Seen on the Streets of…", an independent publishing project that captures the cities shaping the global street art movement through my personal experiences, in-depth research, and the voices of local street artists.
