Ready! Jim Avignon finished his 60 meter-mural in Brooklyn, New York

Jim Avignon passed the test and is ready for his tour around Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. We`ll soon upload more pictures of his wall in Brooklyn, New York.

Alicia Zamora and "Murales de octubre"

Nicaraguan Alicia Zamora is the cultural manager of "de mi barrio a tu barrio".

She has 16 years experience in graphic and experimental urban demonstrations, as well as in workshops and conferences all around Europe, Central America and the Caribbean.

Alicia was curator and organizer of the 2005 project Murales de Octubre, a unique art event which filled a history-charged wall in Managua, Nicaragua with new live.

Watch the video of the project. Unfortunately, there are no English subtitles, but for everyone who wants to know more about the project, there`s an article of NY Arts Magazine online:

Urban art from Barrio del Carmen in San José, Costa Rica

Get to know Barrio del Carmen in San José, Costa Rica and the artists working in the streets of this neighbourhood. The video has English subtitles and introduces, amongst others, Kier Defstar, a graffiti artist half American, half Costa-Rican.

A special thanks to Federico Peixoto of Producciones de Gafeto!
