However, unlike in the United States, in the city of Buenos Aires graffiti is legal and, in many cases, it is not only sanctioned by the government but encouraged. In Buenos Aires, graffiti is more commonly referred to as street art and takes on a much more positive connotation than it does in other countries. That is because after the country was hit with a financial crisis in 2001, crime started to become more prevalent in the inner city. Years later, in an attempt to revitalize areas like Palermo, the city hired artists to paint murals around the city on empty buildings in hopes of boosting the moral of citizens on their ways to work or school. This idea paid off and soon street art became a growing trend in Buenos Aires, adapting and changing with the times. Artists began to develop many different styles such as murals, tags, and stencils. Street art has become a staple piece of not only Palermo but Buenos Aires as a whole and showcases some of the best art the world has to offer. � http://collections.ecu.edu/files/original/34/994/Wall_art_Te_amo_BA.jpg ed7a368c1a6cf6c8019cb63139e11702 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
