This is a fantastic episode from the new web documentary series "Here Comes the Neighbourhood" - a presentation about a neighbourhood in transition called Wynwood in Miami, which is currently being transformed into a public art gallery.

Although the neighbourhood is looking good as an arts district, even the artists are awareof the downsides of gentrification and want to make the connection between what's happening there (high unemployment after the older manufacturing industries have gone) and larger global economic uncertainties.
In this episode, (4 of 5 to date), Founder Tony Goldman introduces street artists who are coming from around the world, and traveling to the USA for the first time:
Alejandre Farto aka Vhils from Portugal, Neuzz, Sego and Saner from Mexico, Interesni Kazki from The Ukraine, b. from Greece and Liqen from Spain.
The power of their street art is that ideas flow freely and their art communicates something to those who would otherwise see blank walls.
