Viaduc de la Jonction - Geneva - Switzerland The appearance of graffiti in the streets of Geneva appeared in the 80s and 90s, I remember a rebellious year (2010) of my life in which I was tagging the walls with some high school friends. Geneva has a special meaning for the genesis which expresses their arts through the walls and as at the time the art schools were rare we did not consider this type of typography as artistic but rather as being provocation or even degradation, people of another age found and thought it was delinquency and now with the evolution of graffiti, people like the graffitis thanks to artists like Banksy and Basquiat who have managed to change people minds. Now in Switzerland people demand more of this type of arts and hire street artists. A great advance that allows the youth to make a name for themselves.
