When I first discovered the walls in Bogota, Colombia in 2007, I instantly fell in love with their distinct beauty, restless energy and cast of characters. Here are a few images that were captured last week and shared with me.
Special thanks to Luz Coy for taking and sharing these photos. Artists to be identified.
Disasters is the theme of a collaged mural currently underway in the hallway of the FUSE Gallery in the East Village. 26-year-old Lorenzo Masnah has been collecting, enlarging and painting over and on newspaper and magazine images of global disasters, tragedies and human rights violations for years. His politically-infused work has been published in zines and books and exhibited in a variety of gallery and alternative setting in New York City, LA and in his native Bogota, where, along with Stinkfish, he is a founding member of the APC (Animal Planet Collective). Lorenzo’s newest work will be the subject of an exhibit at FUSE Gallery next year. In the meantime, this mural is definitely worth checking out – if you’re anywhere in the vicinity of 93 2nd Avenue between 5th and 6th Streets in NYC’s East Village.

Blu has been busy in the Colombian capital lately for Memoria Canalla, a project organized by Bastardilla and Stinkfish. Martha Cooper and Onesto, who both traveled to the city in September, are amongst others who have participated.

LoisInWonderland has nearly 600 photos on her flickr of street art in Bogotá, the capital of Colombia. The art here looks amazing, and LoisInWonderland has done an amazing job photographing so much of it. Here are a couple of highlights from her photos:
