New Touristic Sights in Bogotá: Graffiti -Tour

Bogotá is considered one of the world’s ‘graffiti-capitals’. The megacity’s old town Candelaria is decorated with a number of houses covered with graffiti from different artists. The dominant socio-critical topics are represented within the scope of the so-called APC-topics ‘Animals, Power, Culture’ and treat several socially controversial issues such as human rights, animal rights, unequal power relations, or political situations in conflict regions throughout the world. It’s truly an impressive way for people to get the chance to look behind the scenes of ‘street art’ and its different techniques. The tour shines a light on a variety of historical and societal topics and is appealing to more than just the younger generations. The walking-tour starts every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday at 10am. The meeting point is the ‘Parque de los periodistas’ in the old town of Bogotá.
