Go Find It

Although I’m London based, I’m lucky enough to live with people from other countries such as Portugal and Greece. The house is a big melting pot and I really enjoy it. To us, it is indeed one more way to share and discover things we don’t know in London but also things from our respective countries and cultures.

One of my flatmates has recently come back from holidays in Greece (Athens to be exact) where he heard about a collective of artists and designers called White Box.

What I really like about the White Box concept is its double-objective: first, they have a showroom to both promote craft industry and organise exhibitions by artists and designers from Greece and, then, they try to facilitate the communication between up-and-coming designers and the public. To do so, some of them contribute to the blog Athenwears.

They always have great collection of bags, clothes and jewelleries that you can be sure you will never see on anyone else but you, as the Moldy Peaches used to say.

I really fancy to go to Athens now. Who’s coming?

I was going to look at the Go Find It map for nice places to see in Greece since everyone I know keep on telling me what a beautiful place it is. However, before I had the time to go through the pins, I found this piece of street art.  It made me think of how universal street art is, how it exists everywhere. I know it’s basic but it’s still quite fascinating, don’t you think?

It would be amazing to have all the street art that must be hidden all around the world pinned on one map.
