Graffiti in Cuba

I understand that many people object to graffiti. It is by definition something done illicitly. I however like it. I think sometimes it is just vandalism or gang tagging, but other times it is in the spirit of protest or a budding young artist saying "Hey look at me!" This was photographed near Callejon de Hamel where most of the walls are painted with symbols derived from Santeria so perhaps a slight precedent has been set. When the paintings of all the political images, slogans, and portraits of martyrs are considered I realize that paint like everything else is in very short supply!
