North Macedonia / StreetartBasically the whole of Skopje is one big graffiti canvas and people just spray paint everywhere. But some works simply require a little more time, especially if they are to be really spectacular. So it’s good that there are also legal areas, and one of these legal spray spaces is located on Vojvoda Vasil Chakalarov in the eastern part of the city, about 300 meters before the road crosses the Vardar River on the way out of town. It is a long concrete wall about 2 meters high, where new works are constantly being created and graffiti spray sessions take place from time to time.

Argentina / StreetartAlong the outer walls of the Rivadavia Hospital grounds in the Recoleta district, there is a magnificent collection of artworks by various local artists. The project began in 2013, when the first pieces were created, but over the years, more have been added and faded ones have been painted over with new ones, with latest works were created in 2025. The nearly 40 creations of art are not typical graffiti or streetart pieces, but rather resemble canvases and oil paintings like in a museum.

Italy / StreetartMRFIJODOR is the pseudonym of FIJODOR BENZO. He tried for years to have a tag like all writers, but in the end he was satisfied with his first name. As a child with a strong creative vein, he began by making monsters with LEGO bricks and drawing on the walls of his bedroom. In recent years, his production has been very varied, ranging from installations to thematic murals, but also performances and graffiti, which he has been dealing with since 1994. He creates works whose subjects are usually elementary forms that carry direct and ironically responsible messages; at the base a simple reading key, in order to always be able to dialogue with the user. Very often, his works are marked by a social or ecological criticism, using as a weapon a childishly amazed smile and a spontaneous and direct style, free from complex technical elements.
