Just got back from an expo called "Graffiti Fine Art" taking action in one of the greatest free and contemporary museums in the city, MUBE.
(note: MUBE is located at the richest neighborhood in SP, Jardim Europa.)
As I was appreciating great artist's works, such as Anjo, Cern and Nove a traditional family came by (clearly the were doing an Easter Cultural Program or so) and started praising, out loud, for them.
Anyway, funny is: what if we all were under some bridge,  would they even notice those works? And if they did, what would they say?
(...)

Personally, I strongly believe in street culture and think pretty interesting that Grafitti is now positioned as
Fine Art and that  brazilian folks are being recongnized for it.
But above all, i believe in free expressions, whatever they may be.

So here goes my GOOD tought i'd like to share: pay close attention to expressions that are happening right now on the streets of your own city, and try to understand them.

Just don't wait for it to be in a museun.
They might not.

;)
cheers.
