Since the begining of graffiti and street-art things have evolved a lot. Once considered as “underground”, an anti-social behaviour or vandalism, it has now become quite mainstream. Like it or not, it has clearly changed, sometimes for the good, sometimes for the not-quite-so-good … to stay polite (have you seen this new “Street Art Tele reality show”? We did, and it was terrible). Today we’ll be focusing on the good: these guys that are still working their ass off to provide quality and keep the Barcelona art scene alive and respectable.
Here’s our highly subjective top list of artists, urban art festivals, exhibitions, art places and instagrams we’ve liked in 2014. There is no first there is no last, just a bunch of activists that deserve a big shout-out for their work!
