Streetart in ...

... Los Angeles!

Three years ago, Los Angeles lifted the ban on public murals. Previously, in the 1960s and ’70s, the “mural capital of the world” hadn’t had a public mural scene due to the law. Now, a group of young Latino muralists is chasing after a mural renaissance. That might be one of the first big steps towards Los Angeles' bright future of street art. Laws that will be passed and bans that will be lifted do not only open new opportunities, they also boost the development of entire scenes.

As a nice example is a mural painted by Kristy Sandoval. She turned a barred window into an opened cage with parrots and butterflies. She said that her mural art is a kind of feminist activism. The owner of the house wanted her to paint a black woman, that shows how people's minds work there.
