Four ninots ( dolls) of four migrants climbing a fence generate controversy in the Fallas of Valencia. Several sub-Saharan migrants tried to remove the dolls from the mascletà fence on Saturday night because they consider them a provocation or an offense.
The ninots were made by the Fallero artist Pere Baenas, but they were designed by Escif, a committed Valencian artist who often criticizes social inequalities, the destruction of nature or the exploitation of people in his work. Escif has published a statement on its Instagram account, headed by a quote from Belgian artist Francis Alÿs.
