Tres décadas después de su última restauración comenzó hace un mes una profunda limpieza del “Juicio final” de Miguel Ángel, el espectacular fresco del maestro italiano en la Capilla Sixtina. Se trata de una de las obras más emblemáticas y visitadas del catolicismo, por lo que se necesitaba una manutención “extraordinaria”. Son las 7 de la mañana cuando accedemos en exclusiva a la Capilla Sixtina. En la sala donde se celebran los cónclaves, un enorme andamio ha sido montado para que los técnicos limpien el colosal “Juicio final”, el imponente mural pintado por Miguel Ángel en el siglo XVI. Micrófono en mano, la directora de los Museos Vaticanos, Barbara Jatta, reitera que no se está restaurando el mural, sino apenas realizando una intervención “extraordinaria”. Muchos visitantes y poca ventilación RFI es uno de los primeros en acceder al sexto y séptimo piso del andamio, cubierto con una tela con la imagen del “Juicio final”. En el sexto piso, Paolo Violini, responsable de las restauraciones de pinturas en El Vaticano, reconoce que ha sido el aumento exponencial de los visitantes, unido a la poca ventilación de la sala, lo que ha creado la capa de salitre blanquecina que cubre la obra. “Es una intervención de manutención extraordinaria necesaria por el velo blanquecino que afecta bastante a la visibilidad de la obra. Es un velo homogéneo, presente en toda la obra, causado por la condensación. Pero por suerte se quita fácilmente sin causar daños. Este velo está formado por lactato de calcio, que se forma por el ácido láctico, una sustancia de origen antrópico y proveniente de la respiración de los visitantes que llenan la capilla”, precisa Violini. “Un proceso natural” En el séptimo piso, con el techo a pocos centímetros de nuestras cabezas, Fabrizio Biferali, curador del arte del Renacimiento en el Vaticano, explica en qué consiste la limpieza: “Usamos agua desionizada, agua destilada, y dos capas de papel japonés que se apoyan en la pared. Se dejan 30-40 segundos adheridas a la pared tras pasar por encima un pincel mojado y luego se retira. Así se va toda la suciedad. Es un proceso natural”, dice. La directora de los Museos Vaticanos celebra que la capilla se pueda seguir visitando mientras se realiza la limpieza: “Esperemos poder desmontar el andamio sobre el ‘Juicio final' para Semana Santa. Estamos trabajando para que el mural quede terminado y se pueda ver durante las celebraciones pascuales”, indica Barbara Jatta. La última intervención en el “Juicio final” se produjo hace más de 30 años. Fue entonces cuando, no sin polémica, quedaron al descubierto los vivos colores utilizados por Miguel Ángel.

Mirko Reisser- besser bekannt als Daim - ist ein international agierender Graffiti Graffiti Künstler. Großformatige Schriftzüge im 3D Style sind schon seit den frühen 90er Jahren sein Markenzeichen. Inzwischen arbeitet er auch als Kurator, Autor und Herausgeber. Wir sprechen mit ihm über "Eine Stadt wird bunt". Was als Chronik der Graffitibewegung in Hamburg beginnt, wird zu einer Ausstellung, dann zu einer Schallplatten Kompilation und gipfelt in einer X-Mas Jam mit den Hamburger Rap Acts aus den 90ern. Was als nächstes geplant, ist verrät er uns im Gespräch. (Flashback) Welche Rolle spielt Björn Beton bei einem seiner ersten Spray Erlebnisse? Wo hing er als Jugendlicher ab? Und Wie kam er zu seinen ersten Aufträgen? Bevor er als Daim weltweit Hauswände in monumentale 3D-Illusionen verwandelt, will er eigentlich Paläontologe werden. Doch dann kommt alles anders. Ein Tape von Run-D.M.C. macht ihn mit der Hip-Hop Kultur bekannt. Kurz darauf wird er Graffiti Künstler und kann schnell von seinen Aufträgen leben. Er erzählt über die Anfänge von Deutsch Rap in Hamburg, eine Anekdote von Jan Delay und von einem Song von Nas. Außerdem geht es um das höchste Mural der Welt, das er in Calgary, Kanada auf ein Hochhaus malte. Und wir sprechen mit ihm über seine Werkschau "35 Years Of Graffiti Art" DAIM Retrospektive im Woods Art Institute.

O Concello de Valdoviño celebrou hoxe o Día de Rosalía coa inauguración do novo mural do artista local Manuel Carballeira, dedicado a Rosalía de Castro. A obra, inspirada no histórico billete da Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre que nos anos 70 converteu á autora na primeira muller non real en protagonizalo, está situada na contorna da praia pequena da Frouxeira. O mural pasa a integrar o espazo rosaliano do municipio, xunto á Rosalía surfeira e outras interpretacións creadas por Carballeira. A peza inclúe textos e imaxes orixinais, como a estampa da praia no billete. O Concello anima á veciñanza a visitar a obra e sumarse á homenaxe.

This week's episode of the Artist Academy Podcast is for my fellow Type B artists… and it might make a Type A listener clutch their planner. After hosting a mural meetup in Costa Rica, I realized just how differently artists operate—some plan every detail, and some (hi, it's me) make decisions in real time, right there on the wall.I'm sharing the “Type B” habits that keep my mural business moving: staying flexible when clients change their minds, why my contract protects my creative freedom, how I handle deposits (or don't), and the systems I do use so I can still wing it without chaos. If you've ever felt “too messy” or “not organized enough” to run a real art business—this one's for you.

Erica Jiminez went from facing a potential layoff at the CDC to landing her dream role as the first-ever User Experience Officer at WK Kellogg Foundation. In this episode, Sarah Doody chats with Erica about her experience in Sarah's UX job search coaching program, Career Strategy Lab.Erica shares how she got clear on what she wanted, made sense of a non-linear career path, and landed a mission-driven UX role.Erica talks about how the Career Roadmap and Compass Statement in Career Strategy Lab helped her shift from a fear mindset to clarity, why her "messy" career path across social work, public health, and UX research actually became her biggest strength, and how she got hired using a whiteboard and Mural board instead of a polished portfolio. She also shares why she negotiated her salary and got what she asked for, and what hiring managers actually look for when multiple candidates are equally qualified.Erica's 3 lessons from her UX job search:1) Follow what you're passionate about2) Go for it even if you're not ready3) Know your worth and advocate for yourself — the worst they can say is noTimestamps0:00 Introduction 1:00 Meet Erica, the first UX Officer at WK Kellogg Foundation 3:00 The career roadmap: realizing how unintentional her career had been 4:30 From social worker to UX researcher — a 12-year non-linear path 5:00 Seeing the story in a "messy" resume 7:00 The Product of You: Design yourself before marketing yourself 8:00 Getting clarity vs. jumping straight to tactics10:00 The Gumby mindset & reframing your experiences12:00 Lesson 1: Follow what you're passionate about13:00 Lesson 2: Go for it even if you're not ready 15:00Lesson 3: Know your worth & salary negotiation17:00 The heroes exercise & discovering what matters beyond UX19:30 Applying UX skills beyond big tech20:00 Advice for anyone on the fence about Career Strategy Lab22:00 Why the human element matters most in hiring

Get ready to be swept away into a sprawling space opera, when Erika Flowers joins us to talk about her passion for writing fiction novels. She approaches writing fiction as entertainment rather than high literature, comparing her creative goals to producing Marvel-style blockbuster experiences. Erika traces her journey from discovering fantasy worlds through the Dragonlance series in middle school to spending 16 years learning the craft before finally writing her first complete manuscript. She describes her meticulous, architect-style approach to writing, treating the actual process like an athlete training for an ultra marathon. Erika talks about her strengths writing character dynamics, relationships, and exploring themes through interpersonal drama rather than external action sequences, and gives us a sneak peek into her upcoming projects.Guest BioErika Flowers (she/her) is a technologist and designer who brings a love of storytelling into everything she does. By day, she helps organizations shape strategy and design for the future, and by night, she writes sprawling novels and explores the craft of story as a lifelong passion. Erika has worked at tech companies such as Intuit and Mural, as well as serving a term at NASA as a civil servant as a part of their digital transformation initiative. She currently works in medical technology, innovating in the field of diabetes and insulin management.

In this episode, we spotlight one of Flint Energies' Rural Murals in Butler, Georgia, located in Taylor County, and explore how public art can spark real, lasting change in rural communities.What began as a mural quickly became a catalyst for downtown revitalization—bringing residents and visitors back to shop, dine, and gather in Butler's historic downtown. We discuss how art creates a sense of place, strengthens community pride, and helps small towns reimagine their future.How Butler's mural helped reignite activity and energy downtownThe role of public art in rural economic developmentWhy murals encourage travelers to leave the interstate and explore Georgia's backroadsThe power of storytelling through art in celebrating local history and cultureApplications are now available for the 2026 Rural Murals Grant, and Flint Energies wants to help create a mural for your hometown.The Rural Murals Program is a collaboration between Flint Energies and rural communities across Middle and Southwest Georgia to create large-scale murals that:Celebrate each community's unique history, culture, and identitySpark economic development and downtown activationStrengthen sense of place for residentsSupport talented local and regional artistsServe as focal points for community pride and conversationEach mural is custom-designed by selected artist(s) and reflects the community it represents—whether highlighting a prominent industry, local folklore, festival, or historic moment.

AI, AI, and more AI. Do you even live in Silicon Valley if you're not talking about it every episode? This week, we go deep on how open-source vibe-coding tools are starting to replace the need for traditional SaaS contracts. Dave shows (and tells) how he used the open-source “Claude bot” to reverse-engineer his Mural photo frames and spin up a better web UI in under 30 minutes. Brit test-drives Anthropic's new Cowork, auto-mapping the entire seed VC market while it runs her browser, and celebrates how much these agents are boosting household productivity. Sam loves the power but calls local agents a massive security backdoor, argues trust will consolidate with Apple and Google, declares that “software is not a business,” and announces we've officially entered the fart-app era of AI toys. Jessica flags rising panic among SaaS vendors. Don't miss Sam's hot-chick analogy and Brit's Pop Corner to close it out

In this episode of Rising For Our Motherlands, we take listeners on a guided tour of two of Oakland's most powerful and politically significant murals: the Oakland to Palestine Solidarity Mural (completed in 2014) and the SUMUD: Resistance Until Liberation Mural at Uptown Body and Fender (completed in 2024).Oakland to Palestine Solidarity MuralIn the first part of the episode, we walk listeners through the Oakland to Palestine Solidarity Mural, a monumental public artwork that centers the image of the tree as a global symbol of life, resilience, and resistance.Spanning 157 feet wide and 22 feet tall, the mural is composed of nine individual panels, each painted by a different artist or collective. Through distinct interpretations of the tree motif, the mural draws connections between shared histories of colonization, environmental exploitation, the internal exile of Indigenous peoples, and ongoing struggles for justice.Together, these panels form a stunning public tribute to the human spirit and its unassailable right to thrive in the face of political oppression and injustice—wherever it occurs in the world.SUMUD: Resistance Until Liberation MuralLater in the episode, we are joined by Yasmeen, a Bay Area community member involved in the SUMUD mural project, and Al Juthoor, a local Bay Area Dabke group. Yasmeen shares insights into the production process, artistic vision, and political motivations behind the mural.The SUMUD: Resistance Until Liberation Mural is a collaborative project between artists and activists in the U.S. and Palestine. It explores and confronts the deep interconnections between systems of incarceration, colonization, and repression in both places, while affirming the vitality of the Palestinian Liberation Movement. The mural serves both as a memorial to this historical moment and as a living expression of collective struggle—locally and globally.In both the U.S. and Palestine, art is often a political act. This mural stands as a testament to the imagination, brilliance, and creativity of resistance, even under conditions of imprisonment and occupation. As Zionist forces enact ongoing death and destruction in Gaza and Palestine, creating this mural together as a community affirms a shared commitment to resistance, solidarity, and liberation.Sumud is an Arabic word meaning the steadfast will to survive, endure, and remain connected to the land.Featured music & audio clips in this episode: Mohammed Assaf, voices of Emory Douglas, Keven Cooper and Um Eyad, various national & international news segments, and chants from students, local Bay Area activists, and organizers.Graphic includes a portrait of Um Eyad by Art Forces lead artist Susan Greene, in collaboration with Peps 357 (Spoon) and Asha Sudra (Kufiyeh).  Podcast art created by nicole gervacio.Learn more: Oakland to Palestine Mural: https://artforces.org/projects/murals/usa/oakland-palestine-solidarity-mural/Sumud Mural: SumudMuralOakland.org

En este episodio de Paredro Podcast conversamos con Ricardo Silva Romero sobre su novela Mural, un libro que reconstruye literariamente la toma del Palacio de Justicia de 1985, uno de los episodios más violentos y determinantes de la historia colombiana reciente.Hablamos de qué ocurrió durante esos dos días de noviembre, del asalto del M-19, de la respuesta militar, de los magistrados asesinados, de los desaparecidos y de las múltiples versiones que aún conviven en la memoria colectiva. Silva Romero reflexiona sobre la novela como dispositivo de comprensión emocional, sobre la compasión como método narrativo y sobre los riesgos éticos de escribir ficción a partir de hechos históricos todavía abiertos.Un capítulo para entender cómo la literatura puede iluminar lo que la historia y la política no han logrado cerrar.#RicardoSilvaRomero #Mural #TomaDelPalacioDeJusticia #PalacioDeJusticia1985 #MemoriaHistorica #LiteraturaColombiana #NovelaColombiana #ViolenciaEnColombia #HistoriaReciente #FiccionYMemoria #ParedroPodcast #CamiloHoyos #PodcastDeLiteratura #Alfaguara #BibliotecasComfama

If I had to start completely over with zero mural experience, zero clients, and zero momentum in 2026… what exactly would I do to rebuild my mural business back up to $50,000 in the first year?In this episode of the Artist Academy Podcast, I break down the exact steps I'd take—numbers included—to go from day-one beginner to a fully booked muralist with steady income and growing confidence. Whether you're brand new to murals or looking to reboot your art business, this is the roadmap I wish I had when I started. Let's talk numbers first. To make $50,000/year, here's what it actually looks like: $136/day if you worked all 365 days OR $200/day working 5 days a week Which equals $1,000/week — or just two $500 jobs per week Two small $500 projects each week is incredibly doable when you know where to look and how to market yourself. STEP 1: Start With $500 Jobs Your first goal is simple: book consistent $500 projects. These usually include: Kids' rooms Bathrooms Interior accent walls Small logos for businesses Window art Simple custom pieces Anything custom you can complete in about two days Why start here?Experienced muralists rarely want $500 jobs.These beginner-friendly projects help you build a portfolio, gain confidence, and learn to work efficiently. STEP 2: Raise Your Prices as Soon as You're Booked Out Once you have one month of $500 jobs lined up, you're done taking $500 jobs.At that point, $500 naturally becomes: $700… then $850… then $1,000… You don't need a new year, a new portfolio, or a special reason. You can raise your prices mid-year, mid-month, or even mid-week. Your schedule will tell you when it's time. How do you actually GET these jobs? NOW Marketing (focus on this first): Social media (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn depending on your area) Posting in local Facebook groups Sending DMs to local businesses Reaching out to interior designers Public art calls Thumbtack Pro (the fastest way to get ready-to-buy clients) LATER Marketing (you don't need this yet): Website & SEO Referrals Separate art accounts Fancy branding Business cards These things matter later—but beginners often hide behind them and slow themselves down. Feeling overwhelmed? Here's how to simplify it. NOW Strategy: Build a portfolio Say “yes” to most things Try out different styles Work with a variety of people Practice, gain speed, build confidence Network everywhere LATER Strategy: Niche down into your signature style Choose your ideal customer Create a targeted marketing plan Specialize and scale STEP 3: Shadow an Experienced Muralist Shadowing—even for a single day—is one of the fastest ways to shorten your learning curve. You'll learn: The tools and supplies they actually use How to scale artwork onto a wall Which brushes and rollers make the job easier How to paint efficiently How to handle real client interactions What a full mural workday actually looks like One day of shadowing can save you months of trial and error.
