- The company is launching an urban art competition in five cities for young people to interpret the energy transition.
- The walls and surfaces of Endesa’s distribution subsidiary facilities will become canvases to showcase their proposals.
- The winners of the competition will receive a masterclass from the Unlogic Crew collective.
- Participants can draw inspiration from the work of photographer Álvaro Ybarra, who documents the energy transition process in the project El Legado que Seremos.
Bringing the role of distribution in the energy transition closer to society through urban art—this is the goal of the initiative ConectArte, launched by Endesa and its network subsidiary, e-distribución. The walls and surfaces of Endesa’s distribution facilities will be transformed into canvases where students from schools in five cities will depict their interpretation of the role of networks in the energy transition.
Endesa is undergoing a major transformation as part of the energy transition towards cleaner energy production and consumption. This requires a comprehensive adaptation and modernization of electrical networks, the backbone of the system. ConectArte aims to visualize this role through art and the perspective of young people.
In the 2024 edition of ConectArte, students over the age of 16 from schools in Teruel, Hospitalet de Llobregat, Palma de Mallorca, Badajoz, and Arona—the selected locations for the urban art interventions at e-distribución’s facilities—will be able to participate.
Participants must freely reinterpret the competition's theme by submitting a sketch related to the energy transition and sustainability, reflecting the importance of electrical networks in the shift towards clean and sustainable energy with zero emissions. The concepts of “change,” “future,” “opportunities,” “natural capital,” and “inclusion” will guide participants in developing their artistic proposals.
To seek inspiration, they can reference the work of renowned photographer Álvaro Ybarra Zabala, who, in his project El Legado que Seremos, in collaboration with Endesa, is documenting the decarbonization process.
Once the submission period ends, a jury will select a winner in each city based on creativity, originality, artistic quality, and conceptual innovation.
To participate, students simply need to register on the website endesa.com/conectarte and submit their individual proposals before September 30.
Masterclass with Unlogic Crew
The winner, along with their classmates, will receive a masterclass led by Unlogic Crew and will attend the execution of the artwork, using the walls of e-distribución’s facilities as a canvas to bring the winning concept to life.
Unlogic Crew is one of the most recognized urban art collectives in Spain. It is composed of nine friends from different neighborhoods in Madrid who began their artistic interventions in urban spaces in the late '90s, between the courts of Barrio de la Concepción and Vicálvaro. Its members are professionals from various fields, including graphic and industrial designers, painting teachers, and experts from disciplines outside the art world.
Unlogic Crew’s murals feature a wide range of styles, from naïve drawing and comic-inspired illustrations to realistic art, ensuring that each project has its own unique identity.
