This urban art piece, covering 75 square meters at the entrance to the Church square, on Forn street number 13, commemorates Piera, who was born in the same town in 1910. The project is inspired by the book of the same name by historian Antonieta Jarne, which recovers the lives of 600 significant women from the Lleida regions.
The initiative, driven and directed by Elisabeth Vicens with support from the Institut d’Estudis Ilerdencs (IEI), aims to permanently capture these stories in towns through large-format murals. The first phase includes three interventions before the end of the year, all by muralist Nauni, who has expressed a desire to give visibility to often-forgotten historical women.
“"Many times they are anonymous and this is a way to give them recognition."
Mayor Joan Eroles highlighted the work's importance for "making this emblematic figure known and visible," while Jarne celebrated that historical research translates into social dissemination.
Nauni explained that the mural depicts Dolors Piera as a teacher, using aerosol graffiti techniques and plastic paint. Each artwork will feature a QR code for further biographical information about the honorees.
