Bujumbura

Street art # 1

In this country most advertising, shop signs and commercial images are hand-painted. Some are simply copies, some are personal and artistic. In its uniqueness this popular street art is as fascinating and culturally significant as Tokyo's street video screens or, in some cases, the American Pop Art.
