As a contributor to the Weaving the Streets project, I have been looking into the issue of collective memory and the reconstruction of identities in post-dictatorship Spain. My first two blog posts focused on Lavapiés, a multicultural neighborhood in Madrid, using street art as a medium for juxtaposing modern-day activities with the history of the Franco dictatorship. This third post focuses on Santander, a city where the present and the past exist simultaneously.

In her latest contribution to our Weaving the Streets project, Darcy Best reports from Dublin on a creative project through which local artists can help build a distinctive identity for particular areas of the city by turning metal traffic boxes into canvases for vibrant art.
