Urban Art at Casa Grande University

Posted On 29 Oct 2010

Urban artists and university students gathered in the pool area of the Universidad Casa Grande on Wednesday. Four graffiti and airbrush artists, who participated in “Exprésate Guayaquil” showed their talent in an event that intended to give value to graffiti art.

Eighth semester Marketing students organized the event. This was the last “caso” (case) of their career, students had to find a social problem.

“We were doing a tour by the streets and we saw graffiti everywhere,” said one student. Then, students asked passers-by what this form of expression meant to them. “Some told us that this was vandalism, and others that it was art,” said another student.

After doing research, the students contacted four graffiti artists, with whom they had a workshop.

“We saw that this could be a work opportunity, their art has value,” said the student.

Robert, Andrew, Jousy and John (the graffiti artists that were contacted) showed their talent in front of dozens of students, who had graffiti done on t-shirts, shoes and hats for a dollar each.

“It seems a very cool and attractive art. We must support the boys, and the best way we can do that is by buying their work, “said a student who had graffiti on a white t-shirt.

Robert, 25 year-old urban artist who showed his skills, said that graffiti was a hobby for him before, “but now I can get an economic benefit from this, which is a nice way of expression.”
