The American Dream By Jofre Oliveras

Vittoria Benzine Vittoria Benzine December 23, 2019

One’s relationship to the place where they live largely depends upon their privilege, stemming either from the environment they were born into or the circumstances affecting their life. Either way, the experience of any one place is different for every person inhabiting that place. Rankings like those provided by US News incorporate metrics considering cost …

Banksy’s Silence on Gaza: A Surprising Shift in the Artist’s Activism

Sami Wakim Sami Wakim November 19, 2024

Banksy, the enigmatic street artist whose works have long served as social and political commentary, has often championed the plight of the oppressed. His art has critiqued war, capitalism, and systemic injustice in stark, often haunting ways. One of his most powerful gestures was the opening of The Walled Off Hotel in Bethlehem in 2017, …

Sami Wakim Sami Wakim March 13, 2024

On Wednesday, August 19, 2026, the International Committee of the Red Cross ( @icrc_lebanon ) unveiled a powerful new mural in Beirut’s Hamra district, created by Lebanese mural artist @spazuno . Titled “الآلاف مفقودون، ويُفتقَدون” (Thousands Remain Missing, and Missed), the work seeks to keep one of Lebanon’s most painful unresolved chapters in the public consciousness: the thousands of people who disappeared during the country’s civil war and whose families continue to wait for answers.
#Repost @conse.arts ・・・ “DARVO” ⌛️— a quick glimps #Repost @conse.arts ・・・ “DARVO” ⌛️— a quick glimpse at how my new mural in Waterford, Ireland 🇮🇪 came to life. Created as part of @waterfordwalls, this piece took shape over several intense days of painting, challenges, conversations and unforgettable moments. Huge thanks to the entire @waterfordwalls team for all the work behind the festival, the organisation, the support and for making everything possible throughout the project. Special thanks to Gabe, @sillyme_arts and @kohneshia for being there, for the support during the process and for making those long painting days much easier 🙌 And, of course, thanks to all the artists and people I met along the way for the conversations, the laughs and the experiences shared in Waterford. #artreel #muralart #streetart #spraycanart sprayart
#Repost @yoursanctuary.lb ・・・ Beirut already has a #Repost @yoursanctuary.lb ・・・ Beirut already has a thousand stories living on its balconies. Imagine adding a few more—only small enough to fit in your hand. Tiny ceramic residents could appear above old streets: one watering a plant, two gossiping across a corner, another quietly watching the city below. Each character numbered. Each one different. Together, they could turn Beirut into a citywide treasure hunt that tourists search for and locals immediately understand. ماذا لو صار لشرفات بيروت سكّان صغار؟ شخصيات خزفية مرقّمة تختبئ فوق الشوارع، ولكلّ واحدة لون وحكاية ومزحة صغيرة. تفصيل بسيط يجعلنا نرفع رأسنا ونحبّ المدينة أكثر. Would you look for them? Send this to someone who would—and tag a page that should help make the idea real. @ministryoftourism.lebanon @lebanontraveler @livelovebeirut @lovinbeirut @the961 @beiruting @sursockmuseum @beirutartcenter @bema.museum @beiruter @streetartglobe @streetartcities @admiddleeast @archdaily @designboom #YourSanctuary #Beirut #LebaneseArchitecture #UrbanArt CityTreasureHunt

#Repost @_francis.co ・・・ Painting in the centre of #Repost @_francis.co ・・・ Painting in the centre of Figueiró dos Vinhos felt different. There was a particular responsibility in painting a house that belongs to the centre of an older town, where people have lived for decades, becoming accustomed to the same walls, windows, doors and architectural details. I felt a lot of pressure to create something that could coexist with this existing environment without shocking or disrupting it. I wanted to keep the place as it was, because in my opinion it was already beautiful, while highlighting what was already there. The façade I painted was already filled with architectural elements, including windows and doors, so my idea for this project was to explore and accentuate the concept of invisibility, something I feel is a common characteristic of many Portuguese old town centres. Many of these houses and architectural elements have become abandoned, overlooked and forgotten. I wanted to play with this sense of invisibility by camouflaging the existing elements of the house with new elements inspired by the surrounding architecture. In a way, the goal was to use invisibility to make the house more visible: to highlight the building itself while, at the same time, drawing attention to the architectural elements that belong to the neighbourhood. I hope this work can, in some way, bring attention to these houses and details that are so easily overlooked. Most of all, I hope that the local community can relate to the painting, embrace it and, ultimately, feel proud, seen and represented by it. Thank you @fazunchar.fv 🍀 . #illustration #muralart #painting
