WISH YOU WERE HERE

by Tracy Shaw, Loca Creatives Director


 

















Blown away by the quality of the street art in Havana, and even more so by how well cared for it is.  This super-sized mural - glimpsed through railings while ambling down an unprepossessing street - flanks a concrete football pitch in a distinctly run-down part of town, well used every day by lads playing footie and school children taking part in local games tournaments.  And - apart from the scuffs caused by the constant thwack of balls - not a mark on it.  No idea how it came to be there or who the artist is - clues anyone?
