We did a poor job documenting construction of HQ so More Media could save the day with this beauty.  Amazing job capturing amazing work by Woodsmithe.

In 2009, Urban Visionary and Placemaker Tony Goldman partnered with Jeffrey Deitch (Deitch Projects Soho and now director of MoCa Los Angeles) to create the Wynwood Walls. What began with a series of parking lots, loading docks, and drab rundown factory buildings, became a curation of high caliber murals from Futura, Shepard Fairey, OS Gemeos, Kenny Scharf and others. The Walls opened for Art Basel 2009, and now two years later the collection has expanded to include over thirty artists from around the world, becoming a “Town Center” in a district that has grown into one of the largest concentrations of commissioned murals in the World.

Episodes beyond the trailer definitely dive into more mature content, but this episode about the project photographer, legendary Martha Cooper, is also worth highlighting for the kids. She gives a bit more background about the project’s community and impact, and touches on the history of the street art that she’s photographed.

Culture Shock of the Day: Though they enjoy being photographed, many Mongolian nomads have never seen a physical photo of themselves.

Enter: Teenagers Vanessa Hollander and Wilson Philippe, who recently went on a ten-day motorcycle tour of the world’s most sparsely populated country, bringing their Fuji Instax Mini with them.

They write:

[E]ach person photographed really prized and protected his or her polaroid (fearing that we wanted to keep it), and barely let us see it when it was developed! the children automatically stored it away once we showed them what was the very first picture of themselves. it was a really great and humbling experience and showed us how much just one photograph can mean to people who have never had one of themselves.
