A Mine of Color is a participatory mural art project in the La Mina neighborhood, Sant Adrià de Besòs, promoted by the association El Generador Art i Creació Cultural and the HOP Festival, with the collaboration of the Sant Adrià de Besòs City Council. This project aims to transform public spaces and strengthen the sense of community among residents, turning gray façades into vibrant, colorful spaces full of life.
Started in 2018, the project has involved artists such as Zosen and Mina Hamada, who led workshops with children from various neighborhood facilities, including Casal Infantil La Mina, Centre Obert Pes La Mina, and Casal dels Infants Besòs-La Mina. This intervention resulted in a large-scale mural on the party wall of Estrelles Street, visible from the Ronda del Litoral and many nearby streets.
In 2019, artist and neighborhood resident Lorena Eloizaga collaborated with 6th-grade students from Institut Escola La Mina to create a mural in the schoolyard, inspired by nature and organic forms.
