Las Calles Hablan is a documentary which was filmed mostly on the streets, shot from the hip, something that reflects the street art itself.
A lot of the story comes from the street artists themselves. They are always generous with their time and information. They’re developing the process, they want this story to be told.
This is a story about discovering a hidden world, an extraordinary subculture and the struggle between an artistic community painting for freedom of expression and an increasingly restrictive dogmatic government.
Las Calles Hablan is about the evolution of street art in Barcelona. The opinions on graffiti go in many different directions – love, hate, indifference.
This exhibit welcomes all opinions, inviting everyone to see and learn more about their community and how graffiti can be a compelling element for a visual discussion.
Barcelona, like many cosmopolitan cities, has a rhythm, a natural beat that carries and communicates its personality: the very soul of the place.
