Barks and Bites

From the wall to the book cover, a hug between street art and literature,
barking up together against a city that bites, sick with rage.

Desde un muro de la calle hasta la portada del libro,
un abrazo entre el arte urbano y la literatura,
para ladrar al unísimo contra una ciudad que muerde,
enferma de rabia.

Title book: Caracas bites (translate from Héctor Torres' blog)

"30 chronics that portray the stories of everyday in Caracas,
where the paths of violence, crime and despair are sometimes faced with slits
through which slips hope of redemption, the tenderness and the need to believe".

Not more paranoia

"The unstoppable growth of crime rates puts Caracas on the head

of one of the most despicable ranking that exist: Caracas is one

of the ten most violent cities on the planet.

But, beyond statistical computing, an essential tool to understand

the problem magnitude, violence takes specific emotional representations

in the lives of sufferers and gives true account of social wound depth.

It, far from cured, every day bleed more".
