Photographer Ruth Medjber says street art is very different to graffiti
I’m currently on tour in South America and my first stop was Bogotá, Colombia. I’m trying to do as many touristy things as I can while I travel for work.
I took a guided walking tour that looked at the area’s street art and historical relationship with graffiti. Our incredibly enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide (who was also a local artist) told us of Bogotá’s unique history with street art, and its uses and value to their society. Bogotá decriminalised street art in 2012.
