#artbits

Urban public spaces are canvases for street art. They reveal the political and social discourse of the city. The #artbits bloggers collect photos of street art from Germany and North America, from Berlin, Mexico City, Montreal, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.

Love on the streets
Hearts

The latest series in our street art blog #artbits is dedicated to the symbol of love, compassion and humanity: the heart. Whether in simple, stylized scribbles or intricate, colorful designs, their message is at its core a sign of hope and cohesion. But they can also provide multi-layered commentary on social and political issues and thus become carriers of complex messages.
