The role of graffiti in Colombia, Argentina, Honduras, and Brazil
Colombian
artists use this form of nonverbal communication to express corruption and the
days when Colombia was a country full of war and people were scare of going
out. Alvaro Uribe Velez could be an inspiration for the artists; he was accused
for “falsos positivos”. But walls are not only full of political disagreements,
cultures and races are also an inspiration. In the other hand Argentina takes
graffiti to a whole new level, street art seems like an art gallery. They make
the streets more colorful and happy. Horduras has a difficult situation, has
become one of has become one of
the world's deadliest countries with more than 87 homicides per 100,000 people
- 10 times the rate considered an epidemic of
violence by the World Health Organisation, and artists want to give the streets
color with this form of nonverbal communication. Finally Brazilian artists are
also inspired by political climate and corruption.
In conclusion,
these countries share the same inspiration and try to express their opinions
and thoughts with graffitis, even though it’s not legal.
