Bogota’s Thriving Urban Art Scene

Nov 11, 2013

Visitors to Bogota always comment on the high quality graffiti or urban art they see covering the city’s walls, in fact, there is even an immensely popular Graffiti Tour (http://bogotagraffiti.com/) to take in some keys sites in the downtown Candelaria district. So, on the strength of this art scene, we invited famed old school Bogotano street artist DjLu (http://www.flickr.com/photos/juegasiempre), international street painter Crisp (www.crispstreetart.com) and British documentary maker Sophie Trew (http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/challenging-perceptions-colombia-s-youth) to talk about this social art movement taking over the “no man’s land” of Bogota. With insightful and personal anecdotes, we think this forum on graffiti is phenomenal.
