Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Street art in the heart of Morocco
Can you tell the difference between
graffiti and street art?
Both are murals in the city, aren’t they? True.
Graffiti artists, or taggers, want to mark their names to be known. They usually
do their jobs when they aren’t watched to avoid being caught. Street artists,
on the other hand, aim to appeal to viewers to interpret their thoughts and
impressions. Their works are usually done on authorized walls or spots and the
process created is seen by anyone.
Morocco, a small kingdom in northern
Africa, hosted an international street art festival in the capital. It actually
is an ideal place for street artists to paint murals because there are more
than enough white walls in the city. Passersby and onlookers were interested in
the work by the renowned street artists and took photos or asked questions. Though
the festival ended, the works are going to be kept until the end of the year.
Enjoy seeing some of the works and thinking
of visiting the kingdom to see them.
