Overview
Much like the path of street art, from its shadowy origins as a guerrilla artform regarded as “vandalism” to later being embraced as high culture, Palermo too had humble beginnings as a working-class borough but would become transformed into the trendiest area of the city. We'll explore the role street art played in this urban revitalisation.
We'll engage with graffiti's roots in Argentina, which gave the oppressed a voice amidst censorship and authoritarianism, and how it has often mirrored society, reflecting the ups and downs of economic and political cycles. Street art has empowered a youthful revival of urban culture from muralists who use art to humanise the urban landscape, encapsulating the country's deepest passions from football, politics, and identity into a vibrant urban tapestry.
Not a traditional historical tour, but rather offers the opportunity to better understand the important social and political issues facing Argentina through its street art and muralism.
During this tour, we will visit:
- Plaza Serrano
- Villa Alvear
- Palermo Soho
- The Moroccan garden
- Don Julio's community garden
- Palermo Viejo
- Desarmadero bar
This tour is guided by: LUKE.

On arrival
I am going to be standing right next to the sign that says PALERMO at Plaza Serrano.
I am pretty tall and easy to identify.
