Art al TRAM is a project of high quality artistic interventions at various stops along the two TRAM networks, both in Trambaix and in Trambesòs. The aim of the project is to use art to revitalize these spaces and turn them into friendlier places. Thus, TRAM aims to reinforce social and environmental values ​​by bringing citizens closer to a city model based on sustainability, social innovation and inclusion through art and culture. This project began in 2020, with the work by Iker Muro at the Cornellà Center station.

Tribute to Barcelona

Amaia Arrazola's intervention, which can be seen at the end of June, will be a tribute to the city of Barcelona, ​​a modern, globalized, connected and inclusive city that does not turn its back on the environment. On the other hand, it will also represent the diversity of users who make use of the TRAM, thus managing to oxygenate the platform and connect the outside with the inside of the station.
