Pakatrap: A street art discovery walk

Graffiti artist Amikal presents an in-depth exploration of Geneva’s street art scene through murals, tags and public interventions. The narrative situates tagging and graffiti within contemporary urban culture, unpacking origins, symbolism, authorship and networks among practitioners. Works range from large-scale painted murals to intimate tags and site-specific interventions, while discussions address techniques, materials and the codes that shape this subversive visual language. The project reveals how street practices negotiate public space and cultural visibility.
