PEACETU recently participated in a group exhibition named MUROS in the contemporary art gallery Galeria Solar do Ferrao.
Located in the heart of the historical centre, Pelourinho, a group of 11 graffiti artists brought a piece of the Bahian capital´s walls onto to walls of a gallery:
Graffiti is an art form that arose in protest and managed to become a mass cultural phenomen, crossing social classes and ethnic differences all over the world. Production of contemporary graffiti is dynamic and ephemeral. At the exposition MUROS you will find artists that represent different generations and a variety of styles, that together provide an overview of what has been done in the streets of Salvador, since the 90´s. Feel free to experience the production of these artists who, despite of influence of New York graffiti, remain convinced of their Bahianity and their walls remain work of Brazil and the world.
Anderson AC, artist and curator
The expo Muros lasted from the 19th of September until the 8th of November, 2009. See pictures:
