Like in a movie,
That the way how I would call this banlieu. Since yesterday I just know
the wonderful side of San Antonio, where everyone is welcome, where everything
seems totally peaceful. But the trip today proves the opposite side of San
Antonio. That doesn´t mean it was bad. Far from it!!! It was amazing.
The people in this area find a way to express themselves and their
thoughts about their life with art, rather graffiti. It makes me so happy to
see how great graffiti can look at its place of origin- America.
Windows were broken there, everyone there possesses a watchdog, and the streets were empty. It felt strange to be there. It was like in a movie but with every mural we saw it felt more normal to be in an empty area.
Every mural told us a story and it was awesome for me to see how creative
they are. The artists want to evoke hope in the minds of every citizen there.
Much to my surprise, I noticed easily how religious the people are in this
area. You can notice it everywhere. You can see religion in their art; you can
see it on their skin. Probably religion gives them hope and strength to look
forward towards their life. Maybe the murals seem to a lot of people spooky because
skulls are often depicted, but this fact is connected to their religion too.
They don´t fear the death because death means salvation for them. Salvation
from this hopeless place.

It has to be hard to live there and much harder is it for me to know that
even the people, who live and were born in San Antonio and don´t know this
different San Antonio. I really hope that someday someone notices the potential
of the people there.
