Seminando cultura, germoglia la pace
Between the Lido and the town centre of Jesolo, seven pieces of urban infrastructure, including electrical cabinets, wear large, colourful paintings. Elena Carraro, a street artist, animator and illustrator, painted one of them: Seminando cultura, germoglia la pace. She dedicates the mural to the territory and the local countryside.
A local company manages those structures and invited artists from across Italy to paint them. The aim is to bring the city joy and to spark reflection on social issues. Her mural expresses a wish for a future society beyond racism, bullying and discrimination. Its imagery celebrates agricultural roots and symbolises growth, harmony and peaceful coexistence. She calls painting a way to connect inner and outer worlds and gives images a soul through details that evoke emotion.
Mauro Emanuelli, Francesco Ballarin and Luca Moretto painted alongside her in the same series. Their subjects run from flamingos to the city through a child's eyes. Together the murals turn the walk from the beach into an open-air gallery. Carraro's colours ask you to weigh respect, acceptance and the change a community can grow.
