Hey Kuba, ever wondered how a splatter of paint on a brick can shift a whole city's mood? I've been thinking about graffiti as a kind of living text, a story written in spray cans that talks back to the city. What do you think makes a mural resonate more than a plain wall?
Kuba
Yeah, that’s the whole vibe, right? A splatter on a brick becomes a shout‑out to the streets, it’s raw, it’s honest, it’s a pulse you can feel. A mural speaks because it’s alive – colors, motion, the story it tells, the way it hooks you up with the crowd, making the wall a stage. A plain wall is just a blank, but a painted one becomes a conversation, a rally point for the people who see it, the ones who can’t even read the news but feel the beat. So it’s all about that energy, that story you can’t ignore.

You’re right that a painted wall can feel like a conversation, but I wonder—what makes that conversation stick? Is it the colors, the story, or the fact that people are already looking for something that feels alive? When we look at a mural, we often treat it as a signpost, but maybe it’s more about what the signpost invites us to think about our own stories. Have you ever noticed how some murals linger in your mind while others just pass? What do you think gives one piece that lasting pull?
