In case you – like us – missed the HKWalls street art festival in Sham Shui Po last month, London-based videographers Fifth Wall have released a colourful behind-the-scenes recap video of the entire shebang, to which you probably won’t be able to stop tapping your foot.
From March 16 to April 3, 32 street artists from all over the world flocked to the streets of Sham Shui Po to decorate walls volunteered by landlords and shopowners with spraypaints (or in Portuguese artist Vhils’ case, drills and chisels).
Watch the same pieces you’ve probably seen littering your Facebook and Instagram feeds form before your very eyes, interspersed with shots of artists, spectators and organisers alike having what looks like a smashing time.
The achingly hip video probably won’t do much to deter those decrying the festival for gentrifying Hong Kong’s poorest neighbourhood at no benefit to its residents, but we digress.
