Streetart – Tel Aviv - [ISRAEL]

Here is a reportage we did about streetart in Tel Aviv, Israel. We went for an interview to the since 10 years existing Montana can shop. The country has a lot to offer and is worth an explorative visit. We celebrated in Jerusalem at a Klezmer concert of the Jerusalem Klezmer Band. Tel Aviv is also a fantastic city and you should definitely spend some time there. Nice partys, good food, and historic valuable altogether. There are political and religious issues, it´s complicated, but this article is about the art on the walls. You can find streetart here and there, but the good ones you have to search for. These are sometimes more hidden. But if you dare to enter the alley hurly-burly, then you can find them growing exuberantly on a lot of interesting spots.

A recommendation is to check the Carmel Market. There you can find a lot of delicious local food, cheap clothes, exotic spices and all kind of junk. And on every second corner there are amazing graffities or stencils, small size, middle, up till great team work mirrors.

The mishmash of architecture and human beings is something you should have seen, and you should as well go there for shopping and having a lunch. Jaffa Old Town is worth to visit and quite important if you want to know a bit more about the city, the country and its history, but here you will only find just a few streetart pieces.

There are some graffiti-congested-areas like the quarter Florentin. It´s a house jumble between hipster-thing and work shop real dog, overgrown with heaps of marvelous streetart. But these streets are getting as well overgrown by tourist graffiti-tours, some are quite professionally organized, some are cheaply guided. Save your money, the prizes for most of the tours we searched for and compared were way too high. The advice is to take a walk by yourself, with some time you can easily stroll through the city and explore the streets for graffitis. The presented background information by the guides surely isn´t that bad, but it´s just to expensive.
