Paste Up Experience

Discover one of the most iconic techniques in street art through an immersive workshop inspired by Sanctum of Renewal and the Japanese philosophy of Yūgen.

Blending artistic creation, urban exploration, and storytelling, this hands-on experience invites you to design, create, and install your own paste-up artwork while exploring themes of transformation, impermanence, and the hidden beauty of the everyday.

Guided through the complete creative process, you'll learn about the history of paste-up street art, develop your own concept, prepare your artwork for installation, and gain practical knowledge of the materials, tools, and techniques used by artists around the world.

The experience concludes with a guided walk through the surrounding streets, where you'll install your artwork and discover how architecture, public space, and context can transform the meaning of an image.

• The history and foundations of paste-up street art.
• How to develop and prepare artwork for public installation.
• The correct use of materials, adhesives, and tools.
• Installation techniques and best practices.
• The relationship between urban art, public space, and visual storytelling.
• How the philosophy of Yūgen can be expressed through contemporary street art.

By the end of the session, you'll have created and installed your own original paste-up, experiencing the complete journey from idea to public intervention while leaving with new creative skills and a fresh perspective on the city around you.
