Murals of Mission District

Kodakan with the #graffitis during my travels ( May 2018, ) 

The Mission District in San Francisco, California   is a virtual outdoor art gallery full of vibrant murals. Throughout the neighborhood, hundreds of walls and fences are adorned with colorful works of art featuring themes ranging from cultural heritage to social political statements. You will find painted pieces, mosaics and a few that combine both styles. You can also find a handful with some 3D elements They come in all different shapes, sizes and colors, but each one is tells a story and is a unique work of art.Best viewed on foot, take a stroll over to these locations for an up-close experience

Graffiti makes the streets colourful, brings life into the greyness of everyday life and sterile architecture, showing signs of life of the people living behind the facades. Graffiti may express underlying social and political messages and a whole genre of artistic expression.
