THe La Entrada Project
La Entrada Project - Wall1 from geraluzlove on Vimeo.
"La Entrada is a collaborative art project of public art in personal spaces. Infused as murals and art workshops throughout the new landscape rising in San Diego California. The project actively cultivates culture in the community and is a reflection of social change. The core mural pieces are embedded on the new architectural development of affordable income housing in Logan Heights. La Entrada's design have a meaningful approach that speaks with the people's language; the imagery becomes cultural tools of social engagement and in its stories of experiences move and circulate as positive information which become vehicles for connections within the community."

Graffiti by US soldiers in Iraq
US soldiers took to Iraq not only war and pain, or peace and freedom, as you prefer to conceive the situation, but also their cultures. Graffiti as art or vandalism is natural part of contemporary US lifestyle.

JR Finishes His Most Ambitious Project Yet In The Slums In Kibera, Kenya
Today, after more than a year of planning, 2000 square meters of rooftops have been covered with photos of the eyes and faces of the women of Kibera. The material used is water resistant so that the photo itself will protect the fragile houses in the heavy rain season. The train that passes on this line through Kibera at least twice a day has also been covered with eyes from the women that live below it. With the eyes on the train, the bottom half of the their faces have be pasted on corrugated sheets on the slope that leads down from the tracks to the rooftops. The idea being that for the split second the train passes, their eyes will match their smiles and their faces will be complete.
This new work, by far JR's most ambitious to date, can be seen from space and will be seen in Google Earth.
Bravo, JR!
