Overview
On this tour, we will explore the art expressed on the streets of these two districts in the Buenos Aires suburbs. Colorful murals and interventions convey the essence and identity of these Buenos Aires neighborhoods. Our soccer legends, the promise of glories to come, tango, and tributes to the great painter Benito Quinquela Martín are some of the inspirations behind our artists' creations that beautify these streets. Utilizing various techniques, including stencils, freehand spray, and brushwork, they achieve a unique realism that captivates all who pass by. These artists emerge within a city in constant movement and transformation, positioning Buenos Aires as the epicenter of urban art in Argentina.

What To Expect
El Galpon de Catalinas/Grupo de Teatro Catalinas Sur
The scenic mural "Welcome to La Boca," an emblematic work designed and coordinated by Argentine artist Omar Néstor Gasparini, executed by a group of local artists, depicts the life and characters of the neighborhood in a structure evoking an old tenement building. Inaugurated in 1999 in front of Parque Lezama, this mural represents immigrants, workers, and iconic symbols of La Boca, such as football and tango. Despite the need for replacement in 2009 due to the expansion of Avenida Paseo Colón, it remained faithful to the original design, being reinaugurated in 2012.

Inaugurated in February 2021, near the Usina del Arte, it stands 20 meters tall and depicts Maradona as a saint. Segatori began painting it on November 25th, the date of Maradona's passing in 2020. From the wall, the idol gazes upon us with a mischievous smile, holding a scepter shaped like a soccer ball and wearing a Versace necklace with the Boca Juniors logo.
