street art in bogotá and beyond
originally published in post- magazine
my senses are overloaded as i attempt to soak in the vibrant hues that surround me the way a canvas soaks in paint. towering above me, lions, birds, migrant workers, and indigenous women live together on walls of businesses and homes. it feels as though any second they will peel off the brick and appear next to me to share their stories. every poster has a purpose, every mural has a message. welcome to las calles de bogotá…
