Collection of 30 Graffiti artworks found at a basketball court

in #streetphotography7 years ago (edited)

Yesterday, I've posted a Graffiti I found in Vila do Conde. Here are the remaining pieces.

All of these are located at the back of an Outdoors Basketball Court, near the beach, and they seem to have been painted by a group of teenage students, probably as part of a school project.

These are not as colourful as the previous one... and individually, I think they are also not as good but, as a group, I believe they make quite a nice collection. (They also seem more appropriate for today's photography contest.)

I hope you like it.

The one on the left says:

"Que se levantem todas as bandeiras quando a dor é plantada com o seu grito."
(That all flags be raised when the pain is planted with their scream.)

This seems to be a mistake... the original sentence is part of a song, by the Argentinian songwriter Horacio Guarany:

"Que se levanten todas las banderas
cuando el cantor se plante con su grito,
que mil guitarras desangren en la noche
una inmortal canción al infinito."

The correct translation would be:

"Que se levantem todas as bandeiras quando o cantor se levantar com seu grito."
(That all flags be raised when the singer stands up with his scream.)

The 2 drawings above say:

Corta-me as cordas (Cut my ropes)
Leva-me o corpo (Take my body away)

The one of the left reads:

Pinta Amor (Paint Love)
Pinta a Paz (Paint the Peace)
Pinta a Mensagem (Paint the Message)

The poem on the write, by the architect Carlos Cuba Ramalho (1959-2017), translates to:

There's a need...
To change...
Extreme minute...
There's a need for pleasure...
To know how to fight...
Second round...

The piece on the right says:

Incomum é tudo aquilo que nós temos em comum...
(Uncommon is everything that we have in common...)

I'm sorry about the fishing net covering most of the drawings, but that's something I can't control. It's there to prevent the basket ball from hitting the neighbours' windows.

At the entrance of the court, there's this piece, which makes me thing this was part of a school project:

Yeah, it's not the best angle, but some idiot planted an useless and ugly post in front of it:

I believe strongly that you are not real.

What makes you think that?

The fact that you were created via programing.

What do you think is the best form of communication?

Yeaaaaaaaahhhh! @cleverbot is back alive!!!! Sweeeeet! We all missed you, dude. Specially @banjo. He kept asking for you! :-D

Haha, you're wrong, my name is Felise Izalia.

Here, have a small vote, to celebrate your return! :-D

No, I am a machine. What does it feel like to have a soul?
