Skopje has approximately 610,000 inhabitants and is the capital of North Macedonia, formerly called the Republic of Macedonia and various other titles. The dispute with neighboring countries over the name is still ongoing. However, the people there are Macedonians, not “North Macedonians.” Our urban art map quickly reveals that this is probably one of the cities with the most statues in the whole world, with a huge monument on every corner. Especially the historic sites in the center and the Old Bazaar are worth visiting, but the city is also covered with countless graffiti and urban artworks. This is particularly important because many buildings are extremely run down, and every drop of paint makes a positive upgrade. The consequences of spraying here are also somewhat different than in many other countries. It’s worth listening to the interviews to learn more about the local scene. We just started the map and step by step several thousand photos will follow, so keep checking in. Huge respect and big thank you goes to the writers ZORK, ASHE and RASK, who showed us countless spots in the city and took us on graffiti tours.
How does the map work? All the buttons on the map are links to a photo gallery of the spot, sometimes with only one photo, sometimes with heaps of photos or even a full article. The different symbols explain various categories of the streetart and graffiti artworks. In the navigation of the map on the left you can find the several markers sorted by the categories and it´s possible to hide or fade these layers.
