Mextonia - The Intercultural Celebration of Estonia´s First Centennial

June 14-22, Tallinn, Estonia

Mextonia is the worldwide festival of Transgraffiti Muralism, inspired in the 20th century Mexican muralism and created by street artists and graffiti writers from Estonia, México and the world. Produced by Todoesuno Eesti and Nueve Arte Urbano, endorsed by the Governmental Committee to Estonia 100; Mextonia celebrates the Estonian cultural roots by creating “Symbols of Cultural Identity”, while cleansing damaged walls and reuniting artists with graffiti writers, authorities and neighbors towards a common goal: to orderly express love for humanity, cultural diversity and Estonia.

We embrace culture as the linked tissue of meaning and symbols that connect individuals with each other and into a society, everything that identifies a group of people, the reason of why we speak certain language, eat specific meals and celebrate some special dates, and dress in a certain way. But most important, culture determines our way of thinking and how we interpret reality.

We want to discover a meeting point where culture is the main mechanism of progress and which international differences are the central element of learning and linkage that fulfills the spirit of the entire mankind. Mextonia Festival is that exact meeting point.
