The excursion

From the largest official murals to small, discreet interventions, from major international artists to young Brussels residents who want to express themselves, Brussels is the city where people speak on walls. On this walk you follow the artists who shaped the streets of Brussels with spray cans, brushes, stickers and much more unexpected tools. Why this work? What does it mean? Why take up street art? More than 15 works are explained and set in the context of their period and neighbourhood.

Provocative, censored, decried, illegal, but always close to people: a panorama of the Brussels street art scene.
