Al Padre mural on a facade in Villa Alberto Larraguibel
Al Padre, Villa Alberto Larraguibel, La Florida, 2025. Web-optimized record from the MAAL archive.

MAAL gathers large-scale mural experiences organized by locality, understood as open-air museums or urban mural ensembles. The main criterion is not the festival or the facilitation process, but location, urban scale, and the way each wall participates in a territorial route.

In this line, the street, the facade, everyday circulation, and neighborhood memory become part of the reading system. Each work exists as an individual image, but also as a piece within a larger neighborhood ensemble.

2025 Process

The project preserves memory, schedule, grant documentation, accountability records, and extensive process documentation linked to Talentos Creativos La Florida 2025.

Within MAAL, each locality folder may contain one or more real work capsules. This organization makes it possible to read murals as a territorial archive: image, neighborhood, scale, funding, process, and public memory working together.
