This Blind Wall is dedicated to Saint Brigid of Kildare, patron saint of livestock and livestock farmers. Brigid lived in the fourth and fifth centuries and has been the patron saint of Bavel, an agricultural municipality, since the Middle Ages. In addition to her religious work, she was known for her care for the poor and needy.

The first churches in Bavel were named after her, but since the late 19th century the Roman Catholic church has been named after Mary. Nevertheless, Brigida is still venerated in Bavel. In 2025, the cemetery was named Brigida Kerkhof.

The mural of Brigida was created by Rutger Termohlen, a tattoo artist from Breda. He depicts Brigida as a saint (with a halo), accompanied by farm animals.

Brigidastraat 2, Bavel

Liniestraat takes its name from the 18th-century defensive line. 
With this mural, artist DZIA pays tribute to the street’s unique history and the role of water in its defence. 

Spread across a number of façades, the various animals depicted form a beautiful whole.

This painting at KBS St. Joseph references the Pettenclub that played football at the Siegmundterrein near Ceresstraat in the early 20th century. For this new project, students from the school and local residents collected stories from the neighborhood and translated them into pet designs. Nine students painted their own hats with themes such as traditional crafts, urban nature, and football. Artist Bas Steens incorporated these designs into an artwork on the wall by the football field.

The Italian artist Dodici, based in Rotterdam, is known for his colourful, playful style. His work can be seen worldwide from North Africa to the USA. He often paints everyday scenes with multiple layers.
For Breda Robotics, Dodici worked horizontally, fitting both the building and the theme: the collaboration between humans and machines. He depicts two engineers working with modern equipment on future technology. The ‘humanoid’ in the artwork refers to invisible but essential technology such as artificial intelligence (AI).

The mural is a collaboration between Blind Walls Gallery, Breda Robotics, Breda Business, the Municipality of Breda, and Dodici, demonstrating how art, entrepreneurship, and technology enhance each other.
