Art Passa Passa: Bringing art to the streets of Budiriro

Art Passa Passa is dedicated to building a society that deeply values and prioritizes art and culture.

Art Passa Passa, a groundbreaking street art exhibition, is transforming the streets of Budiriro into an open-air gallery.

Founded by CaliGraph in 2022, this initiative aims to bridge the gap between traditional gallery spaces and the raw, spontaneous nature of street art.

The exhibition showcases a diverse range of street art expressions, including murals, graffiti, and interactive art installations.

By utilizing the streets as a canvas, Art Passa Passa highlights the intersection of art and public spaces.

The project is more than just a visual spectacle; it's a platform for enculturing and changing the way people perceive murals, street art, and art in their communities.

Art Passa Passa is dedicated to building a society that deeply values and prioritizes art and culture.

The exhibition aims to activate a community of creators while engaging and exposing art to people within the community space.

By showcasing street art in high-density communities, Art Passa Passa is creating alternative ways to access and experience art beyond the confines of gallery spaces.

Street art has the power to transform urban landscapes and reflect societal issues.

It adds color to the walls and lightens the soul of communities, taking on a new vibrancy, storytelling, preserving, and presenting visual culture.

Art Passa Passa believes that by bringing street art to the streets, it can directly impact the people who live there.

The exhibition features a variety of art mediums, including murals, graffiti, installations, illustrations, fine art paintings, photography, and sound and music curation.

The curated works are displayed on the walls and gates of Budiriro, transforming the streets into an active art installation space.

Art Passa Passa is about ownership of art and street art as a means of storytelling.

It's about bringing art to the people where it matters most — in the communities where they live.

The exhibition spotlights emerging creators and honors the spaces that have shaped their lives.

By changing the narrative and promoting access, Art Passa Passa is enculturing a new way of being. It's a testament to the power of art to inspire, connect, and transform.
