A colorful and vibrant street art mural covers the wall behind a young woman posing in front of it. The mural features bold lettering in purple and blue that reads 'Forever Curious', with a large cartoonish figure rendered in bright colors like pink, yellow, and turquoise. The woman has long brown hair and is wearing a white sleeveless top, standing casually with her hands in the pockets of her blue jeans. In the foreground, there is a cardboard box with the word 'Sonria' (Spanish for 'Smile') written on it in stylized cursive lettering. The image captures the lively and artistic spirit of the Getsemani neighborhood in Cartagena, where street art has become an integral part of the urban landscape.

Street art covers every corner of #Getsemani in Cartagena. Graffiti has often been seen as a nuisance and still can be, but in so many places around the world, street art and murals have become integrated into the city’s character and neighborhoods. •• What’s your favorite city for street art? . . . .
