Las Calles Hablan
We wanted to make a documentary which was filmed mostly on the streets, shot from the hip, something that reflects the street art itself. A lot of the story comes from the street artists themselves. They were always generous with their time and information. They developed the process, they wanted this story to be told.

How yarn bombing grew into a worldwide movement
Textile artist Magda Sayeg transforms urban landscapes into her own playground by decorating everyday objects with colorful knit and crochet works. These warm, fuzzy "yarn bombs" started small, with stop sign poles and fire hydrants in Sayeg's hometown, but soon people found a connection to the craft and spread it across the world.

The graffiti streets of Fish Island.
Ah Fish Island, a place we know well. That old industrial area, It’s also a good place to spot graffiti and street art. The old warehouses are now full of artist studios so i suppose it shouldn’t be a suprise, the canal waterfront in particular is a great canvas for many to make their mark.

The project launched with over 5,000 high resolution images including work that no longer exists, like the 5Pointz murals in Long Island City or the walls of the Tour Paris 13. Google's Street View, made possible by their custom-designed panoramic camera, has become the eyes of streets large and small in almost every major city.

The dilemma with reverse graffiti.
We all know what graffiti is. How it’s considered a crime for defacing public property but what about reverse graffiti? Reverse graffiti is art that is created by literally removing dirt from surfaces. Its graffiti by means of subtracting dirt and creating a temporary image that can be scrubbed and washed away with ease.

While Banksy makes millions, street artists are going to jail.
While Banksy makes millions from his artwork, London’s young graffiti artists are being demonised and imprisoned for expressing themselves in the exact same way as the famed street artist. Some consider graffiti a vital urban art form, while others remain convinced it is nothing more than criminal damage. These mixed views are complicated by the cultural popularity of graffiti; Banksy’s work sells for hundreds of thousands of dollars while news items with strategically positioned journalists in front of ‘cool’ spray-painted backdrops air on television. Even McDonalds has commandeered the use of fake graffiti tags in its attempt to be edgy.

World’s largest street art museum takes shape in Amsterdam.
This won’t be the first street art museum in the world, Europe, or even in Amsterdam — the Street Art Museum Amsterdam, which is really more of an outdoor tour of street art than a traditional museum, has been around since 2012. But Coolen says his museum will offer a completely different experience, largely because of its enormous warehouse space. He hopes to open the new museum in summer 2018.
