During my visit to Bogotá, Colombia, I joined a guided walking tour focused on the city’s vibrant street art scene. Led by a knowledgeable local artist, the tour illuminated Bogotá's complex history with graffiti, which has become a powerful medium of expression following the decriminalization of street art in 2012. We explored various murals that narrate stories of local culture, politics, and the community, showcasing how graffiti serves as both an art form and a tool for societal commentary.
Our guide emphasized the significance of street art in Bogotá, framing it as an evolving narrative that reflects the city’s culture, politics, and community spirit.
With the decriminalization of street art in 2012, Bogotá has transformed its urban landscape into a canvas for expression, allowing artists to share their stories freely.
