In front of the McCelona exhibition by Miralda himself and FoodCultura are handing out vindictive leaflets and confetti for citizens who wish to deposit them in the chain's restaurants.
Miralda, who has been working with food as an artistic material for years, explained on April 8 in an event at the Juan Naranjo gallery, that this action called McCelona, which invites you to spread handouts in the form of fries with messages critics of the fast food industry, "it is an artistic, creative and poetic gesture" to invite reflection on the consumption model. "We will not change the world, but I feel that we have a need to express ourselves", he said, "not only as artists, but as people".
