Street Art

Sometimes though as vandalism, Sometimes as Art, Graffiti always is amazing and outright way to express a message to everybody. Graffiti doesn't discriminate genders, skins or religions, is a message given to everyone who look the site its done. Anyway, i think graffiti not only can send a public message, but also can talk about the citizens and how is the culture of people on the city the painting is.

For example, graffitis have not been conceived the same way between Barranquilla and Bogota. In our city we can see a lot of draws not finished and carnival graffitis everywhere. Thats because government just support graffiti on culture representations with folklore meanings, but in bogota, a few campaigns support graffiti's artist giving them different spaces to express their messages with freedom. 

We can see a lot of differences between Argentinan and colombian culture in their street art. Actually in Argentina people have adopt graffiti as a way to decorate streets and make the city an art gallery, but Bogota see on graffitis a way to express disagreement with standard ideology and political nonconformity for example.

My point is, in conclusion, graffiti isn't just a way to express a thinking of the artist, or send a message. Graffiti express too the way of living of the city, the culture and ideology of people.

Afrocolombians

This is the video i choose to have an example of afrocolombian's racism.

The video is about a guy who move to the capital ,bogota, to find a better job and quality of life. But he has a lot of trouble when he realize he cant find a good place, or a good job  because his skin color. Being upset, angry, powerless and even affraid is how this man feels when all this racist situations happen. And dissapointment is what i feel about this lack of humanity.
76% of afrocolombians are too pour, 42% are unemployed and isn't a surprise some people think in black people as gardeners, plumbers, mechanics without education or even thiefs.
Crazy is that these race are genetically strongers and more skilled than white one, and have contributed a huge part of the cultural atmosphere on the country, so their aren't less than anyone.

i think solution of their situation could start in education, improving their self -steem and confidence, and ovbiously their posibililities. And for racism is education too, teaching people equality, solidariti, respect and even punish this awful behaviour.
Afrocolombian means a lot, means culture, means smiles, funny and interesting dances, means traditions, even mean tasty food and, overall means History, something mankind can not forget never never never.
