Ecuadorian Graffiti Illustrates the Culture
Graffiti de Amor en Quito
Ecuadorian countrysides and streets are riddled with graffiti. However, it is not the typical type. Usually we associate graffiti with inner-city gangs, violence, money, drugs, curse words, vulgar drawings, etc.
However, Ecuadorian graffiti is filled with amor -- guys professing their love to their girlfriends, peaceful sayings, indigenous unity, etc. I think it is telling of how generally happy and loving Ecuadorian cultures are, and the collectivity amongst everyone.
