Graffitis in Latin America

Using graffiti as a form of non-verbal communication, these countries have in common that all the artists seek to express the situations that affect the country where they live.

In Colombia the graffiti express situations which are not pleasant for the society since they cause him harm and no benefit from it. Tom feling comments on various graffiti, one of them is La Macarena in Bogota, where highlights those days of street violence; Another is a mural XIX which shows corruption and hand hard from the police, among others.

In Buenos Aires the graffiti express two messages, several of them expressed purely art while others express the problems of the society. For example: Roxana Perez a resident of this country says that graffiti are nice, show the style of the artist and give life to the city. Matt Fox Tucker shows visitors the graffiti, among them is a baby which means exploitation and human corruption.

In Honduras the graffiti express Tegucigalpa is one of the cities most deadly in the world. Then the urban master takes his cans of paint to show to others about the situation that occurs in the country. This country presents 87 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants, considered an epidemic of violence by the World Health Organization. Master protects his identity because their work is illegal and dangerous. However there are other graffiti, a mix of international works: "Mona Lisa", "Leonardo Da Vinci" and "American Gothic" to capture the attention of pedestrians.

AfroColombians

It is very sad that this situacion occurs in our country because all the people should have the same ríghts. The color of our skin does not make you better person. The thing that really makes you a better person is the respect for others despite of the place of they are from or the color of they skin or how much money they have. But the most important thing is that our country takes the initiative to correct this error.
