The countryside in the city
Lives
Who would say that art and sport can play on the same field? Today’s secret is demonstrated in the form of colour, on the floor of a basketball court in Arroios.
Used by basketball fans and admired by all culture enthusiasts, the Multisports Field of Campo dos Mártires da Pátria is an authentic open-air gallery created by urban artist Pedro Campiche, better known as AKACorleone, the urban illustrator known for the unique way he unites colours with typography in different ways, and for the way he manages to build original compositions full of humour and references. Get to know the work on his instagram @akacorleone (https://www.instagram.com/akacorleone/).
This work is the result of a partnership between Underdogs Gallery, Lisbon City Hall, Arroios Parish Council and the Hoppers sports platform. Book a family game this Christmas, in this iconic venue in the neighbourhood of Arroios to exercise your dribble and visual culture.
