Also new this year, “The Walls Project” in conjunction with Italian non-profit Bepart, the Brightening Air/Coiscéim Coiligh and the Irish Arts Council and Waterford Walls Festival, have created a new project: #MovingMurals a free-to- download app that transforms public street art works into augmented realities.
