Dozens of artists beautify the San Agustin neighborhood with murals, graffiti and paintings as a project to recover and revitalize physical and symbolic spaces in the neighborhood. It is an urban proposal exercised from the cultural organization of the neighborhood “where street artists assume militancy for beauty as a strategy of popular work based on valuing the physical spaces that build social and cultural identity” and in this way keep crime away by attracting tourists from all over the world to this popular area in West Caracas.
