One of the the best things on my journeys in Mexico and Brazil is that everything is so colorful.
Next to the blue sky, beautiful flowers and the green palms you have so many painted walls and houses (very different to the grey tones in Germany😁)
Especially in Mexico, graffiti and street art are very widespread because the old Mayans designed there houses and walls in bright colors too.
The muralism (wall painting in a public space) is popular since the Mexican revolution in 1920.
The Brazilian graffiti became popular in the 50s and 60s. It started with a political protest on the walls.
Today, street art is allowed in brazil since 2009.
Whether allowed or not, I think it's a wonderful way to change the dark ugly walls into stunning works of art.
