Street art in Buenos Aires
Traveled to Argentina in November 2022 among other to experience another tour around to see street art in Buenos Aires.

But we also went on an official tour with BA Street Art They are active in getting more official recognition to the street art and in commissioning pieces to more walls in the city.

Some of it is beautiful and has its value as art preserved even today, but a lot of it it simply to crude and primitive to my taste e.g. all the religious stuff I can be without. When I visit a museum and stumble into a hall…

Berlin
Even though the wall came down more than 28 years ago, it is still very present in the mind of Berlin and Berliners. In my opinion the memory of the wall and the terrifying regime need to be kept, because we need to secure that no country in Europe go onto that route regarding personal freedom, freedom of speech, justice for all. So when you visit Berlin you will experience a lot of evidence from the 28 year long imprisonment of the East Germans. Of course you’ll still find the original venues that came to life just after the wall was down. Check point Charlie Checkpoint Charlie Museum The Wall…
