Street art - Sweet art

 The murals, posters and paintings, the street art, is ever-changing, and so much fun with which to try and keep current.
Oaxaca has a varied and vibrant world of art, not only the wide variety of folk art, but the contemporary art scene is very well established with many famous and yet to be famous artists working in every medium imaginable.  The graffiti artists are quite renown and it's easy to see why.
 
There are galleries all over the city filled with art, but one can see great things just walking around doing errands.  Pretty sweet, eh?  Well some of it is not so sweet, much more bittersweet and important.
"For the mothers who cry over the empty graves of children never to return."

  1. I LOVE the first mural "creative artist workshop"
    Is it in Oaxaca City. I'd love to see it when we come down for Samana Santa in a few weeks
