🎨 The official poster for the 2025 Raval Festival was created by Argentine illustrator Cintia Bonino, winner of the competition organized by the Ciutat Vella District.
His work stands out for representing the diversity of the neighborhood and pays tribute to an emblematic figure: Monica del Raval, whom the artist met through a documentary and whose outlook on life, courage, and sense of belonging to the neighborhood deeply inspired her. Bonino, a graduate in Fine Arts from the National University of Rosario and trained in Art Direction in Barcelona, arrived in the city in 2020 and has developed a career focused on digital illustration, both in publishing and advertising. Her fresh and spontaneous style, with a sensitivity to contemporary themes, has managed to capture the essence of Raval in an image that not only announces the festival but also represents it with authenticity and emotion.
