Public transport operator TMB has launched new artistic and interactive initiatives at Plaça Espanya and Passeig de Gràcia stations in Barcelona to mark March 8th.

At the Plaça Espanya interchange, a new mural by artist Valery Blanchard features a famous quote by activist Rosa Luxemburg. The artwork, visible since March 3rd, promotes social equality and human freedom.

"For a world where we are socially equal, humanly different and totally free."

Meanwhile, Passeig de Gràcia station hosts ARS Gràcia, an interactive experience using lights and melodies. It features voices from the Barcelona Street and Metro Musicians Association and is inspired by musicologists Susan McClary and Eliane Radigue.
