Street Art Graffiti Shadows

• Berlin, Germany has attracted attention to international urban artists since the reunification of the city, making it one of Europe's street art strongholds. Bizarre post-communist locations, cheap rents and ramshackle buildings gave rise to a vibrant street art scene. Hotspots include Mitte, Prenzlauer Berg, Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain.
• Bristol, England is part of a vibrant street art scene, due in part to the success of Banksy.
• Buenos Aires, Argentina is very active in street art, presenting major murals everywhere in the city. A fundamental difference with the scene in Buenos Aires is the implicit co-operation of the police, who rarely hassle artists. Some companies offer tours to explore the different street art in the city and learn more about the artists and their work.
• London, England has become one of the most pro-graffiti cities in the world. Although officially condemned and heavily enforced, street art has a huge following and in many ways is embraced by the public.
