About
Mexico has a strong tradition of muralism dating back to the 1930s. Today, the concept of muralism has evolved. Artists paint the streets to beautify public spaces or to re-signify places affected by violence, among other purposes.
In our street art tour, we will go sightseeing through the city center of Playa del Carmen, where you'll see incredible murals by world-renowned artists. We will discuss local and international art projects and festivals like Calles Corazón and Meetings of Styles. We will learn to identify different styles and techniques of mural art and graffiti, while also hearing the stories behind the murals.
