Athens Graffiti Gallery
I know most people fall into opposing camps on the matter of graffiti: they either love it or hate it. I’m firmly in the street art lovers category. I understand that it’s not always appropriate, like the instance my friend always cite of tagging in Florence. However, I feel graffiti, the artistic, non tagging kind, can do a lot for an otherwise boring neighborhood or brutal communist-era block buildings. Plus, when done well, it often adds to the sense of community in a neighborhood.
That said, Athens is a pretty interesting place all on its own, and probably doesn’t need any graffiti. Luckily, for the fans like me, the artists are everywhere.
