Street art & Graffiti from Cuba

As usual when I visit a city I try to listen to the voices of the Street art and Graffiti. I found the voices from Cuba speaking of a hard time. I have so many different feelings from this country. Beautiful, nice people with a hard time getting things that I am very use to have like food, soap ... Take a look and listen ...

Graphiare make zero tolerant Stockholm colorful!

On the same moment that the City of Stockholm discusses about the zero tolerance and how to change the situation we got new amazing beautiful events with graffiti as a core value! Welcome to Graphiare!

Start with this film! Kaos and Leon painting together. We want 15 minutes of Fame

Graphiare is a new art concept from Francesca Romana Correale which mixes different artform as fashion, food and graffiti in a beautiful way. We were contacted of this amazing italian lady designer in january after she had read our blog. We wanted to make art of art with our best quality photos and she wanted to mix the art with fashion and food and take it to another level. We found out that we both lived in the same area of Stockholm and became friends.

Since than we have been working like crazy besides our full time jobs and family life. We introduced her to writers in Stockholm and had a lot of meetings. We visited Graffiti happenings together and our focus this year has been making photos for this project.

We had so many ideas and plans. Graphiare team changed and new people were involved and all events got real in the end of 2014. Stockholm could finally see the first exhibitions of Graphiare!

In the end of november Mini Coopers were painted by the artists Kaos @kaosthlm, Klive @kliveone, Leon and Ligisd @ligisd at the studio of Graffiti Sthlm in collaboration with Foodlab. Look at Graphiare and you will see films from the painting by Emil Nordin and Ollie Nordh. 

December 1:st the first event of Graphiare was at Snickarbacken 7 a cool place with cafĂ© and shop. Great vernissage and exhibition until january 8 with same artists. 

December 8 a nice private event in Foodlab Artellerigatan 55. Artfood inspired of the four artists and vernissage of exhibition ending January 30.  

December 13 all Sweden celebrate Lucia and Graphiare had another private event at Nordic Light Hotel. Kids from International school and their familys celebrated Lucia and the dresses were painted by artist OKOK. 

Photos of all events made by Graphiare photo team: Anders Lindberg, Caroline Jensen, Izabella Englund and Victor Bergstedt. 

Look at
Graphiare and Facebook to see all of them!

The exhibition: Zero Tolerance in Stockholm

MLG Gallery show an exhibition about Zero tolerant Stockholm in Zero tolerant Stockholm MLG Gallery

"The exhibition casts a light on the different styles found within the graffiti genre and offers a vision of a new and colorful Stockholm. The exhibition contains works from four graffiti artists, suggestions for walls where large-scale pieces would work well and an exploration of how Zero Tolerance actually works. On the 16th of October 2014 came the longed for news that Zero Tolerance would be abolished. This is a positive development for both art and freedom of expression. But the struggle continues against the Zero Tolerance that still exists in other areas of Sweden. The debate must continue even in Stockholm if the art form is to be allowed to exist and develop. That Zero Tolerance is being abolished is positive but access to free walls is still something that artists need in order to develop. If we want this art form to have the possibility to exist around us in our urban environment then we need to discuss it in order to make it happen.Give the boring gray walls a bit of color! Give Stockholmers a chance to see what graffiti can offer the public space."

If you don´t know about the Zero tolerance of graffiti in Stockholm read our post "Do you know about the Zero tolerance of Graffiti in Stockholm" from januari 2014.
