My favorite graffiti was number six. I like it because it was most likely painted by the locals in an effort to advocate for their rights in the midst of gentrification (which has been affecting colombia for some years now).

I like graffiti number 4 and 6, because they are both connected to turism. Even though I do not know why they wanted to express hate thowards turists, I think everyone has the right to go to other place and feel welcomed, also tourism is a good way to boost the economy of any city.

#2: We all bleed the same

It shows an essential truth that, regardless our race or ethnicity, we are all humans. That means, also, that we all deserve the same treatment, respect and rights. In addition, it calls to action against racial prejudices and inequalities.

It shows how the police, thanks to not making right choices with the authority they have, have gained a bad perception and community doesn’t take them as serious as it should be.

I liked the message which says "We all bleed the same colour". I think this is related to the movement against racisms, referring that although we might have different skin color, we are all humans and do not deserve be mistreated or something similar.

I would like to highlight the fact that the police is actually seeing other people painting insults about them, but they are still respecting their art and their opinion about the officers. It was what caught my attention.

I find this image astonishing and shocking, at the same time it makes me feel sorry for Justin taking into account the deep, awful context beyond Diddy's parties. The graffiti might convey a voice of strike, a way to 'fight' in Diddy's case.

"Art is not a crime"

Throughout history, many forms of art were criminalized and banned for advocating for something. In this case in particular, I think it represents how street artists are persecuted because of their way of expressing themselves. Their concerns. Their voice. Their identity.

The grafiti I liked the most was the one which contained the following message: "we all bleed the same colour".

For me it was really significant because I consider this phrase as a criticism to discrimination, social barriers and economical distinctions. These categories were created in order to divide people and give them either power or weakness.

"We all bleed the same colour".

This graffiti really caught my attention because of its critics to racism. It shows the importance of being aware that every human being is valuable. Despite the diversity of skin colors; we all share something in our inside that connects us: our blood color.

WE ALL BLEED THE SAME COLOUR - 2nd graffiti

This graffiti catches my attention due to the meaning that it has, equity has been a taboo for the last years, and is a good way to make people conscious that we are not THAT different.

Is weird how people can hate each other just because stupid differences that do NOT affect people.
