Come with me to Covilhã, Portugal, for the 13th edition of WOOL, Portugal’s first urban art festival.
This street art vlog takes you behind the scenes of WOOL: artists painting, the team working, murals taking shape, long days, late nights and all the candid moments that usually stay outside the final festival photos.
WOOL is one of the urban art festivals I return to every year, because it is deeply connected to its city, its history and its community. Founded in 2011 in Covilhã, a former textile city in central Portugal, the festival brings together street art, public art, local stories and a strong sense of place.
In this video, you’ll see the festival from the inside: the artists at work, the production team, the streets of Covilhã, and the slightly chaotic rhythm of following everything with a camera in hand.
