The Buddy Bears are a Cow Parade derivative that started in Berlin in 2002 and have been touring the world ever since [they're previous stop was Pyongyang]. Currently they are set up in Plaza San Martin. They're to raise money for impoverished children and the hook is that these fiberglass bears represent all the countries in the world with an artist from each country invited to paint their bear.
I noticed a trend with bears from former Soviet Republics in Central Asia: Lipstick and Monobrows! Is this cultural?
[The 4th bear pictured is from Serbia. I appreciate how the artist avoided the whole dilemma of how to treat the face].
