The Wall

The Wall

I found this amazing graffiti at the East Village the other day. It's nothing but perfect, colourful and very full of summer! If you're asking yourself why, there's no apparent reason. I personally love graffitis... There's something about them that always catches my attention. And Diego loves art, in general. So why not?

Speaking about graffitis, I just remembered a group of students who did an excellent job about a year ago on urban cultures and graffitis in the class I was assisting. The interesting thing was that graffiti artists were uniting here in Bogota to claim for their rights and they were getting paid to embellish some parts of the city with their graffitis, and to remove the ugly tags (those that only contain names or short––often political––phrases).

Love,
