Summary

'Santurce, a mural book', is a pictorial-narrative urban intervention project created by the writer Francisco Font-Acevedo and the painter Rafael Trelles in collaboration with the Museum of Contemporary Art of Puerto Rico - MACPR. This initiative invites residents and visitors of Santurce to visit and appreciate the legendary neighborhood of the Puerto Rican capital by reading twenty-two pieces of public art located in different parts of the city. It includes the publication of a book of photographs that documents the urban installation, a documentary video by Roberto Tito Otero and an exhibition on the MAC with the original images used in the murals. Combining history, literature and graphic arts, the mural book is an urban intervention project that invites residents and visitors of Santurce to visit and appreciate the legendary neighborhood. Its display in 22 murals, which recreate in image and word the historical imaginary of Santurce, allows the pedestrian, according to the order of his predilection, to build his own book. In this interactive way, reading the mural book and touring the capital's neighborhood results in a doubly enriching experience. From the installation of the mural book derives: a) the edition of a book of photographs that documents the installation on the street; b) an exhibition of the original images used in the murals, in the Museum of Contemporary Art; c) a web page that documents the Project, while inviting the cybernetic visitor to build their virtual version of Santurce, a mural book. This Project is the fruit of the conceptualization and synergic creation of the writer Francisco Font Acevedo and the painter Rafael Trelles, with the support of the Puerto Rican Foundation of the Humanities, the Francisco Carvajal Foundation and the Museum of Contemporary Art of Puerto Rico.
