Graffiti or street art was not that common in Latin America countries some decades before but due to the situation that each one was living and the necessity of the people to protest, to say or try to do something to change the reality of each of these countries the street art turn to be the best alternative to expose the situation and what they wanted to say.
Colombia is a country in which still the graffiti is consider as vandalism but everyday these thinking is getting part of the past because people is raising awareness of the important roll of these art since the artist are common people.
In Honduras the main problem is the violence and the authors of street art highlight these problematic.
Brazil and Argentina are countries that graffiti is consider as a real art is taken more serious and is not only a form of expressing the artist ideas.
Graffiti in northern africa are very important part of revolution and religious war is the only or the mainly way of expressing themselves and be against the government.
Hello Maria Camila!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with your arguments, every day graffiti and other art forms are seen as sources in great magnitude expression of admirable and respected, in this case Brazil and Argentina are examples of this. In other places such as Africa, the street art is not accepted because there is no true comprehension of the situation currently living disadvantaged.
Thanks!
