I started painting at ten or fifteen
years and the truth the street before was
much more dangerous what is
Now, how do you make me so nervous?
I took a few drinks before to go out to
paint more quiet but the other day
when when he turned to look at what
have done
I did not understand even what I had
written well and someone told me how and
why not because he uses a template
extensive and in that way surely the
things are going to stay better let’s say that
that originated in this image that is
here is also a person part of the
collective and we started flooding both or
taco with that image and to travel it so much
that ended up becoming like
a symbol of the city and traveling
so much the city I realized the
importance of the street that’s why it’s
headline
this talk as in the on the street it
learn and teach because the truth of in
the street learned a lot of things
my mom always told me that I did not know
the street that would learn deeds of fact
learn some but they also learn
very valuable things learning about
work on respect about tolerance
life stories that really that
constant work or sensitize
one and they think differently
how things work
the street is a space in which the one
it shows how ost and when not what
I should do that because the street
it belongs to all of us
the street is the public space and it is
our being is understood public sometimes
I eat like I do not understand what it is
of all really
the street seems really magnificent
a lot of people go down the street
speak now of internet virality and
uploaded a photo to instagram or a video to
youtube milestone I do not know how many views
I do not know how many I like I wanted
in that corner of Barranquilla in a
day
anything that put that wall
big there has more views than
anything on the internet the street to
I still really is the space
more viral than there is the street is in
madrid and only commercial messages
and it is a country so little reader of unique
that people read is what is in
the street what is free and in that
As we began to realize that the
law people what is on the street
but the way you put it can
that uncertain to the oven and we realized
what you have to read is really tasty
read certain things to a child in
primary and that makes the approach to
the vain man is bored now I do not
I imagine how boring it is for children in
primary but that does not mean that the
Literature is called the one that the books
be bad that has happened to you for more
open or to read 27 a month to the child
we tell you that it’s because of the guide to
the life of March is surely going to
read with pleasure and learn to learn
something obviously to that extent
We decided to use the text because we
we realized that people do
Street
we started like working with the
images and work with texts and
we extract phrases from songs of extracts
of conversation books that
we hear on the street then this one does not
keep silence
do not turn the other cheek that they have
more as against what he says
Jesus who turns the other cheek but
Well man do not put it
another cheek phrases like that in
some time they interrupt the
viewer adapting to the street to the
hiker she without thinking about something
today with good homes will
You can take a photo to share it and
show it and somehow make a
voice to voice of that kind of thing but not
everyone likes that people like
they can perfectly appreciate the
photography is normal
the idea of graffiti is not to please everything
the world the idea of graffiti is not
decorate the house and beautify spaces
graffiti is graphic communication and
graphic expression expression but it is not
a thing only aesthetic
there are many types of graffiti there are many
types of people and they surely know to
what to talk about graffiti there was something very
different from what I’m talking about
because everyone lives so
different obviously had problems
for painting several leao silver the police
the police beat me
I’ve made police friends all
painting the street remember is that
we are painting and he came with a
patrol without slow approaching
We were all three quite nervous
and all waiting to see who the
police came to interact at the end
all and not like a side and it was my turn
how to stay next to police what
let it be we go to the patrol or they pass
to not the guy got out and told me come
have a little bit of white just
release the patrol
I do not want to be scolded by the station
painting boys clear man come
young man addicted but for lack of
want of the police station that not
let’s finish this we are missing a
long and we will not be perfect
eta pint and everything was great the
street has taught me that even the
street before he taught me that the police
the worst because when I started I had
many problems with the police the
police abuses his authority and I
gave away flowers in the hair in the shoes
steals me but also the street has
taught that not all policemen are
bums good people even doing
poetry is strange but there are good people
and they have gone from Benghazi police that
kill other friendly policemen
we set up a nightclub
it will be that I can paint the nightclub
today is that my son really likes the
graffiti where are where are the
graffiti classes at the University of
the street to the graffiti classes and
eternal discussion graffiti is art or
if it’s vandalism in graffiti
on Tuesday apple vandalism is vandalism
they have to mix things and there
things that can be mixed
but I think it’s best to leave things
apart from the art we would have to take
many drinks to have a good
conversation about people is very
subjective entered galleries where
made man
here there is nothing of art is more now
and also found things on the street
that really really got this what
appreciation and this what it means and what
I want and I think art
but it is subjective to think and that is
we stay with that discussion always
and no progress is something that we have
Colombians, not like we’re staying
circling many times
instead of moving forward
This one was painted in Barranquilla
now as in July or August what
we painted in a frame of a festival that
make up art
but I like to say that the art because
it’s like killing the art
and it was very bacano because actually
let’s say this wall before they did not have me
integral practice that I think it does is
move a visible invisible wall renew
the space before I could no longer
tell us if passerby now as
on route 40 where, where
there is a wall that has nothing to
very young nobody where is now such
Once there is a signal, it is also done
that never looks like it’s all painted
it is insecure shit this the first
graffiti that berths someone but
I guess they are reasons will have
I do not think that a street that is
painted means e
quite the opposite that there is transit that
There are people who have been there there
young with young anne who have
something to say
Colombian agent style no
I always compare it also as with
our clothes use cars very well
I have one thing put another scramble
there it came this is going to leave the world
when what a delight
I think it’s a bit what happens with the
graffiti in us in colombia we have
influence of North American graffiti
we have european geographical influence
of the smart phrase May 68 is
a country where a lot happens
things paint a street actually from
meet a lot of people have learned
a lot and at the beginning when he painted
It came after someone painted me something
next to the concubine of this one not
it’s as if they arrived at 5353 no
paint nothing more
that is , as I am obviously there or
fasting like half before they caught it
they are always like those things
then I started meeting the
photographers who are taking
graffiti photos
then I met the partners who
they were talking about graffiti
Then I met the managers
which are doing
this bigger generating projects
after meeting the journalists the
which were covering
is enlarging on the street has
taught that joining is powerful that prs
it’s great to ally with people who
think how you are the best
designed the size and that’s why I think
that the street is a bitch nor is it the best
because it is a sincere spirit encourages the
dialogue and it’s a great opportunity to
many young people in Colombia who want
say something that they feel something that they are
note they have been talked to the Goths
pints on the walls
basically and we finish let’s say this
for me well the most expensive projects
what we did was paint the library
national
I think nobody in the history of the
national library had had the
opportunity for graffiti so I eat
a call in the law
please we want to bring young people
they do not go to libraries with antonio
nariño and the theme santo nariño the
brick how are we going to be able to approach
the youngsters antonio nariño
well if I did not have a child it was a point
who took photocopies and distributed to
human rights towards the whole world and
loans to books come to problems
antonio nariño and used shirts
with your favorite authors as before
videochat with botoncitos today as the
Ere tasty live the French revolution
in my friends they told me it was time
they are going to try this car so that
after we fight doing this yes we go
to say that I did not tell them to come
confirmed we do it right as always
I really like that the gps is that
go out to the street to this street
I think that people who do graffiti on
the people who most want their city the
people who know her the most
record that they know best of the best
pies carimañolas robberies and so on
the best prices at any time
and well this project was very bacano al
final I played presented before the
minister of culture who also when
He saw me
bush did not look weird no no I do not think so
but at the end of the presentation in Mexico
It’s fine I hope I do not lose my job
this is why this was planned
six – month exhibition year and a half
they have not called me to cover it
but I’m waiting for that setback
because there is a good collection account in
Unimaginable spaces and things
unimaginable that happen with this
this is one that he never thought about painting
when I started painting things
little girls I never thought that
I could go to paint a nine
floors
never in my life did I go through the
head
what hurts me a little this Monday the
theme because the subject are the fake ones
positive and the deaths of two people
very key inside is good in Bogota
16 year old inexperienced boy doing
grafite was painting a bridge in that
same time an 18-year-old police officer
also inexperienced when receiving the flame
he’s also stealing a bus and the
stereotype that we have whenever the
graffiti is a delinquent is a bum
nobody came to this one expert police
to think that that boy who was
painting a graffiti was the culprit of
having docked the loud voice and went out to
chase him and the nervous boy
He went running and maybe in the night
I suppose lebrillo clear I am the police
nervous
this year the revolver behind and what
assassin
this is an error is surely committed
an error is the worst thing of the matter is that the
police also in its infinite
ignorance and with the stereotypes that
they have done what I was doing
the peeling not that they were in front of a
vega garage that was treating
We change the crime scene and
already happened they crashed his dad
had given money to buy the
sprays his dad pays him classes of
art his dad had given permission to
that night to make dad mom come
brothers for me and that sometimes fall a
in Bogota and the means of what
what happens in the street and they look again and
Of course, the street is full of
paint because it’s full of paint
because architecturally it’s perfect
to paint it because they did
transmilenio that some walls
gigantic that not to which the
been but if it comes to graffiti because
there is a lot of ownership of
drug traffickers that is not anyone’s
they do not have an owner
and what we do with those spaces left
there to arrive the projects of
You do not have to worry about it, it’s thanks to
the mind
this was the story that without a shame and
is the face above the one of the show and the
work that does not look good in the picture of
raffle a Barranquilla- born graffiti artist
here in Barranquilla that was in
Miami also killed by the police
they will catch you doing something illegal
they applied the the thing is ugly running
and the policeman’s hand and such
once the boy had a problem or
something and was also killed case that
they are still in graphic advertising and
unfortunately after that it takes
more importance in Bogota and therefore
done as a centralist country is a
little color
unfortunate the subject but maybe the
people there open their eyes and there was
realize that there are many people here
doing many things and that we are not
false positives
we are another thing we are that that is there
we are not fake
we are positive they contribute we will do much
very much here in Barranquilla I know
50 euros or three times
Bogota 16 thousand 500 in Medellín street
there are a lot of people doing graffiti
a lot of people with ideas and I think that
there are a lot of people to support because
it’s not just that in the
Street
I am that generates the corner of say is
you start and the scratches blood but
a guitar and neighbor play it well
obviously first one way first
make noise but if it is never removed from
learn to play the guitar already has
to leave that surely that week
today he was finally able to make three good notes
Jesus Christ but there it is
there is a door and to operate a door there
to paint that door
we must go beyond that door which
realize that this is by supporting and
the country has exported cocaine marijuana
queens we export to culture
we now export art to this opportunity
there is the open door
I hope someone and many are harassed
hours
[Applause]
