Street Art 13, Urban art trail in the 13th arrondissement, France.

Street Art 13 features a collection of murals created by local and international artists on building facades along Boulevard Vincent Auriol, forming an open-air gallery that allows visitors to explore contemporary artistic expression in an urban setting.

The Street Art 13 project was initiated in 2009 by the Association for the Promotion of Urban and Contemporary Arts in partnership with Galerie Itinerrance, gradually transforming the neighborhood into a reference location for urban murals in Paris.

The displayed works address various social and political themes, including symbols of national solidarity, portraits of local residents, and artistic representations that question contemporary society through different techniques and graphic styles applied to public walls.

The trail can be explored on foot along Boulevard Vincent Auriol between Corvisart and Place d'Italie metro stations on line 6, allowing visitors to observe the murals distributed across several buildings throughout the neighborhood.

The mural Papy Danse by C215 pays tribute to Eli, a neighborhood resident known for dancing weekly in front of the Italie 2 shopping center, becoming a symbol of local friendliness appreciated by residents.

Street art in major cities

Urban art transforms global cities into open-air galleries, where walls serve as canvases for artistic expression. From Miami to Berlin, from São Paulo to New Delhi, murals and graffiti redefine public spaces and encourage visitors to explore neighborhoods dedicated to this form of contemporary art. These works, often large-scale, reflect social, political, and cultural concerns while enriching residents' daily lives. In Miami, Wynwood district has established itself as an international reference with 7,500 square meters of walls painted by artists from sixteen countries. Berlin, a city shaped by history, features the East Side Gallery, where 1.3 kilometers of the former Wall display 105 murals by artists from twenty-one countries. In São Paulo, Beco do Batman in Vila Madalena offers a colorful route through alleys filled with evolving artworks. New Delhi also has Lodhi Colony, where large murals by international artists interact with local architecture. These locations allow an understanding of urban art's diversity and vibrancy.
