Graffiti Grandma

21,566 views

Most people have a negative image of graffiti and "tagging." However, there are a group of grandmas and a few grandpas in Lisbon, Portugal, who are encouraged to create street art through workshops given by an organization called Lata 65. This video is a tribute to one of the "crew." Meet Luísa Cortesão, a graffiti grandma who never let age impede her imaginative spirit.

This photo essay depicts the fine art of yarn bombing, another form of guerilla art.

Don't let age stop you from pursuing your passions.

I am inspired by the spirit of expansion. That play and joy and art opens one’s own mind and heart and those of others around you.

Beautiful, inspiring story of embracing age and making the most of time to do what you enjoy and love - something society should really be reminded of where we are constantly encouraging 'hiding signs of ageing' - embrace and be!

Being 68 and making things more and more, not less and less, and putting it out in the world, feels wonderful. I loved her saying "You are more."

I love the spirit of the ladies and there is no age limit to creativity! Never give up and always find ways to make a difference.
