Why the Murals? INTO THE WALL its an independent tour that I decided to create in order to appreciate , in my view, one of the greatest Assets and Landmark in Cincinnati. The tour took place in the early fall of 2015. With more the 20 friends , the 4 hours walk was a joy ! My journey in Cincinnati started 4 months ago. My first time in U.S.A was in 2005, my trip to New York was always a dream since my teenage debut, influenced and bombarded by “the American dream” and the “perfect life” models shown in the square screens. I was overwhelmed by the diversity and the surrounding, the architecture and urban atmosphere took me over and impress me. Cincinnati has been a very productive experience for me, and in the same time a culture shock . As like any other city, Cincinnati faces everyday problems in trying to provide a better living and a fair society. The 65th-largest city in US and the third-largest city in Ohio have been improving over the past decade. Riots and discontent less privileged groups were the pivot moment for the city to admit the problems and their challenges, economic, social and spatial issues that any other city around globe has to deal it on the daily bases. The poverty and segregation issues was one of the most relevant issue that still very present during my observations. In the middle of this chaos , one thing that always captivate my attention is the murals. Over the city , the murals for me it’s “a cry for the city”, a claim of the locals in the “right to the city”. Despite different opinions , the Murals, in my view, are the break of this crazy world that we are living now; the murals bring union , compassion , understanding , but more important , create a sense of belong , give reinsurance on the local identity and culture. I hope you enjoy my journey!
