What to expect
You'll walk through streets lined with monumental canvases—some covering entire building sides.

Expect to pause frequently to take in scale and detail whilst hearing anecdotes about technique: spray methods, stenciling, permission processes. The pace is leisurely; this isn't about ticking boxes but sitting with individual works and understanding their place in contemporary art.
