Graffiti in Bogotá

Graffiti on the streets of Bogotá is a form of street art that is widely accepted and welcomed by society. Graffiti emerged in slums and dangerous areas, bringing hope and opportunities for self-expression to the youth. Graffiti artists can earn money through their art, having a positive impact on local young people. However, the freedom of graffiti is not easily obtained in some areas, and after media exposure, the Bogotá government regulated graffiti, considering it a cultural custom. Graffiti art displays the fate of Latin America and the vitality of its cultural arts.
