Different cities, different vibes
The walls of each city are different, as are the magic and sky. A different impression, a different story on each wall. Maybe we’ll never know. But we can dream.

CULTURE
Since the late 1960s, artist-activists have used community murals to honour community accomplishments and heritage, portray social criticism, depict injustice or regard for differences and oftentimes, display peaceful scenes of dreams for the future. Public art, specifically community murals and mosaics, serve as voices for those who wish to be heard.
Many artists create work that intersects with political activism and social justice causes. Thus, art has been used as an accessible tool for communication, raising awareness about social issues and affecting positive change.
Explore your city or neighbourhood, what do you see? Do the walls speak to you? What social values and societal issues do they carry?
Take your mobile, camera or, if you prefer, draw on your tablet your favourite graffiti. You can also make a nice collage of several murals!
