Graffiti Mundo - Street Art Tours of Buenos Aires

graffitimundo1
Recently I had the pleasure of tagging along on the recently launched Graffiti Mundo tour of Buenos Aires, focusing on street art and graffiti here in Buenos Aires. The tour is run by two lovely Brits, Marina [above] and Jo who have dedicated themselves to promoting knowledge and appreciation of the local scene here. Since I've frequently blogged street art here, it was a wonderful chance to gain background knowledge on the artists involved. The tour, which focuses on Colegiales, a center of street art, doesn't just visit important murals but also includes a visit to one of the artist's workshops as well as gallery visits. They're currently running tours on Wednesdays and Fridays. They can also arrange private tours. Check out their website for more info.
