Lisbon Political Graffiti and Street Art

There is such incredible graffiti in Lisbon that I thought it deserved its own post (instead of having these pictures meld into the rest). Obviously people are very artistic and politically conscious there. Mostly the graffiti has political themes but some are just amazing murals.



 (obviously the 99%/1% movement is here as well - as it has been in every European city we've seen)


 This was on the tiny winding street up to our B&B. Not at all sure what it is...



 Is that Dustin Hoffman? haha!

 Love this one
 (we saw lots of these throughout the city)

Oh cool Mike! Yeah, I recognized that one from that "V is for Vendetta movie" and then people were using it for the Occupy Protests in cities around the world. Pretty interesting. Didn't know it had to do with a hacker group too though. So glad you've seen the blog and can see what we're up to. =)
