Yes, you heard right, Mulafest is like coming to Bastardo: it's an experience you'll never forget. After several years of experience, Mulafest returns to Madrid next June 22-24 with its seventh edition, so if what you were looking for was a plan for the weekend, you already have it. We can't make this any easier for you.
What is Mulafest?
Mulafest is a festival that brings together the best urban trends. It is organized by the MULA collective and the IFEMA. It brings together lovers of tattoo, urban art, the world of motoring, breakdancing and, of course, electronic music.
In this 2018 edition, Mulafest wants to return to its origins: urban art through the Custom Concept, that is, that any canvas can become art.

Feminism has a place at Mulafest
Mulafest will host talks, workshops, round tables, exhibitions and conferences by women creators of art and culture. In all these meetings, the inequalities suffered by women in today's society will be denounced.
Artists such as Davini V. will pass through this space; Reina who will vindicate the role of women in graphic design; Isabel Flores who, with an installation, will take urban art to an interior space; Mariví Ibarrola who will show her photographs of the Madrid scene; Mercedes Prieto Melero who will present a mural that denounces cultural stereotypes or the monologue by Nerea Pérez de las Heras: `Feminism for clumsiness'.
