It’s been a day full of meetings here in Bogotá, leaving no time at the computer keyboard to write. So instead, enjoy these pictures of the leftist graffiti on the walls of the National University. These buildings have been repainted so many times, it’s a wonder they don’t collapse under the weight of so many coats of exterior latex.

Good comment. Female models would collapse too, being that the case.

Thanks for posting these. I was just describing the graffiti at the U Nacional to a class and now I have some example to show.
Mil gracias.

A lot of the leftist graffiti looks as though it’s done in the same handwriting, I recognize some of the same around Candelaria. I doubt it’s a big group doing it. Just goes to show the impact of small vociferous groups who appear to be bigger and more significant than they are.

Camila, it was the bogeyman spooking neocon cold.

The graffitis are the same since the 1960´s.

One funny thing is that, according to someone I know who studied at la Nacional back then, there wasn’t nearly this current amount graffiti at the UN campus back in the 1960’s…can’t confirm it, of course, it may or may not be correct.
