Graffiti in Hamra

As I was walking in Hamra on Saturday, I encountered a group of guys at the end of the Hamra street doing graffiti.

I had a small chit-chat with them and learned that they call themselves “the REK crew” (Red Eye Kamikazes), as they said they have been doing graffiti in the same spot for several Saturday and they will be there this week.

I found a couple of groups for them on Facebook, the first is Bombing Beirut ( bombing is just another term for doing graffiti), and the second is REVO Graffiti Crew.

I of course didn’t leave the spot without taking some photos! (Click on the thumbnails to enlarge)

    Cool! Just recently (today actually…) started putting up pictures of graffiti from Leake Street in Waterloo, London, and stumbled across this post when I set up my Twitter account. :)

    I didn’t know graffiti was legal,
    and in Hamra,
    and in the middle of the day.
