According to the links shared in the class blog. There are some different concepts about graffiti phenomenon in Latin America. As we saw, the graffiti topic in Colombia is related with the youth spirit of communicate and try to impact the society through the critical art in the streets, because of that, these kind of graffiti are related with colombian social realities such as political corruption, insecurity and that kind of things.
In contrast Argentina graffiti movement, as can be appreciated in Buenos Aires, is completely different phenomenon, more related with art, and philosophy, argentinean artist are people who have turned the streets in an art gallery, where they make really complex and hard worked artworks, and the people of neighborhoods feels good with these art, saying it give life to the street.
In Brazil one of the most important graffiti artist of this country start in that work trying to share a message about environment, and with the time his message have changed to political topics, graffiti is illegal in Brazil.
Finally in Honduras graffiti have become a way to express the bad situation that the people are living, with the insecurity, corruption, aggressive police, and a bad society, these artist put their lifes in danger by doing their artwork in the streets, because it is illegal, and authority and some people see it very bad, in contrast there are other citizens who support graffiti movement.
Non-verbal communication always giving the opportunity to share and express thought of the people and put it at the eyes of the world in the streets.
I like your comment because show to us very clear information about the way of view the graffiti. Furtheremore, I think that this is a perfect example of the benefits brought nonverbal communication, this bring the opportunitie to people to express the oppinion about social problems without violence and physical aggression.
ResponderEliminarI agree with you because graffiti has a philosophy, I mean, graffity is a message that could change the way people perceive art because it is non-verbal communicationean. In addition, it is a movement to create awareness of differents problems on society because the artist need a way to express the bad moment o situation. For example, corruption, contrast in social class, style of life that ocurr on society.
