Graffiti around the world

The graffities in colombia, Egypt and north Africa have the same purpose. Say the things that the media don't want to say or simply don't want that you know. Graffiti in this nations are an expression based on specific political problems that they have. Also critic the present or past decisions in these country's (education system, violence, politics, elite class, police, censure, etc) or support something.


Then, in colombia, graffities and graffities makers, called "grafiteros" have a strong stereotype. Are related to vandalism, gangs and treated as drug addicts. Colombia don't have freedom expression in street art and its a illegal thing. But when a pop star comes, the police escorts him to do all he wants in our public spaces. Colombia needs more culture a less taboos in a big list of things, and graffities are in the top.
