A look back: Downtown street art, exploring the relationship between text, visual art + geography

Words travel fast was a public arts initiative by Primary Projects exploring the relationship between text, visual art and geography.

The artist were given these rules:

 12 words or less, 2 colors, bold clean type. Nothing but text, avoiding religion and politics.

These are some images I was able to rescue from an old iPhone before demolishing started in Downtown, Miami.
