Colombia

Colombians don’t say that they’re “friends”…they say that they’re “like fingernails and dirt.” (Son como uña y mugre)
~Giampaolo Bianchi


Decided to focus on art from Colombia this week.

  1. Thanks, Tabatha. One doesn't see Colombian artistic stuff very often.

    The street art (and graffiti) was fantastic. I was also struck by Futuro y Libertad...such a clear and moving statement.
