| Summary: | This first book by journalist Jorge Pinzón Salas gives voice to seven protagonists and pioneers of graffiti in the city of Bogota, who colored the city with personal and political messages. "The protagonists of this collective portrait that addresses, first of all, the small story of the local graffiti ecosystem, are part of a generation that only knew the internet at the end of adolescence. A generation that his parents no longer frightened with the "coco", but with the threat of waking up one day with square eyes of watching so much television. The radio, the cassettes, the walkman, the vinyls, the VHS, the DVD are some of the tutelary symbols of a memorabilia treasured for decades and reconstructed by Ospen, Fear, Toxicomaniac, Stinkfish, Era, Bastardilla and Bone, the seven indociles of this book. Behind these pseudonyms are young adults, or large teenagers, who transit the middle age. They were born between the end of the seventies and the mid-eighties, so they are the bridge, the hinge generation between post-industrial society and the era of the social web. They dran from analog sources and today they swing in the webs of late capitalism. They woke up to life playing on the street, without screens, and became adults with the turn of the millennium. They communicated with their colleagues by Messenger, and from the digital album of Flickr they jumped to the "stories" of the omnipresent Instagram, where they share their work with thousands of followers." -translated from pages 19-20.
