In October 2016, Valencia was selected as the World Food Capital 2017 by FAO. The mural designed by Pink Intruder is exhibited in the access of Valencia Congress Center for the 2017 Annual Gathering and the Mayors’ Summit of the Milan Urban Food Policy Pact (MUFPP).
We want to build a symbolic element that is the union of all the production of our garden. Let it be a symbolic element of everything produced in it through the centuries. Represent all the people who have sat around a table in our land to build our culture. Of all the people of different cultures, religions and ethnicities that have passed through valencia and have fed on our earth for more than two millennia. Of those of us who are here, of those who invite to come, of those who will come. Of our light and our colour.
For the first time, a city will be the world capital of food for that reason we want this work to be a gift for the following that is a symbol that remembers the example of our model of production, our diet and our culinary culture.

David Moreno Terrón (1975) study Information Sciences and Communication and just graduated began his studies in Fine Arts. since then he has focused his activity on the visual arts.
Urban interventions The urban space is the ideal place to generate debate as it approaches the viewer and looks for his complicity without having to wait for an approach to cultural contenders. The culture contained has the risk of becoming hidden culture. Art Edition The cultural product functions as a media of great power, but often the discussion groups are too homogeneous and closed. Popular culture and cultural elites should not be antagonistic. We believe in diversity and the need to generate debate as much as transversal as possible. Team Pink Intruder counts on the expertise and intellectual support of national and international partners in the academic and cultural world.
