Overview
- The installation, which took place Sunday in Vegueta, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, gathered roughly 500 volunteers on Calle Herrería to pose under Spencer Tunick’s direction for the piece titled 'Gran Spectrum'.
- Participants applied body paint in an eleven‑color palette designed by the artist to evoke a coral‑like diversity and to reference pride colors in a single composite image placed in visual relation to the Catedral de Santa Ana.
- Culture & Business Pride and Tunick’s team spent months planning the production to manage the project's technical, logistical and human needs, including precise positioning, megaphone direction and on‑site makeup work.
- The action included people from about 23 countries and was framed by organizers as a public, peaceful statement for LGTBIQA+ rights against what they described as a global climate of contested gains.
- Photographs from the intervention are circulating in the press and social media, creating a public conversation about the use of historic civic space for collective art and the visibility of marginalized communities.
