What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What distinguishes Festi Graffiti from Haiti's other visual arts traditions, including the country's well-known craft and papier-mache work, is its focus on street-level urban art created live in public space during the festival itself, paired with youth culture elements such as skateboarding and hip-hop rather than a marketplace or gallery format

02

The mystery stays covered

Its consistent ability to attract international street artists from countries as varied as Mexico, Jamaica, Germany, and France gives it an outward-facing, contemporary character distinct from Haiti's more historically rooted craft festivals
