Sky Arte's MURO Series Returns with ROA in Favara

The second season of MURO, a Street Art series on Sky Arte HD, premieres following the success of its first season. The show documents artists working on walls in Italian cities and their interactions with local communities. On Wednesday, July 3, the episode features Belgian artist ROA in Favara, Sicily, a town known for mafia-related violence in the 1980s and 1990s but now experiencing cultural revival through Farm Cultural Park, a cultural center in restored old houses hosting installations, exhibitions, workshops, and actions by Italian and international artists. ROA, a leading figure in global Street Art, typically depicts wounded or confined animals in black and white, exploring animal suffering. In Favara, he painted an elephant, referencing prehistoric dwarf elephant skeletons found in Sicily that migrated from Africa during ice ages. The mural at the Farm Cultural Park entrance welcomes visitors, exemplifying the positive impact of art and culture on the territory.
