We flew to Mendoza last night and then to Cordoba this morning. Airbnb got us a two bedroom apartment (condo?) on the 8th floor with a balcony that’s been in the warm (about 70˚F) (I know, Anchorage that’s cool to you this week, but it’s winter here and after Santiago and Mendoza, this is warm) sun.
We also learned today that I misled you. The SUBE card which I thought was good all over Argentina for public buses (collectivos) is NOT good in Cordova. We had to buy a REDBUS card here. The SUBE was good in Buenos Aires and San Juan. A Dazzler posts mentions a SUBE is good in 12 other provinces (besides Buenos Aires.)
But this post is about street art - particularly murals in Santiago. We were only in a small part of the city so this is just a sample by someone who doesn’t know all that much about the topic.
OK, the one above isn’t ‘street’ art. We went to a Turner exhibit on loan from the Tate at t he Moneda Cultural Center. It slipped in so I’ll just leave it here.
These next photos are on Bandera Street, one of a number of downtown steets that are pedestrian only. You can read this report on how it became a street of public art.
And then there are these other forms of art.
I’m guessing that this last one is a memorial of some sort, though it looks like it’s been a while.
