altered signs, Madrid

Posted on March 30, 2018 by Mary C

Altered signs in Madrid are the mainly the work of two different artists. The first is a local that goes by the name Yipi Yipi Yeah, or YYY for short. The second is Clet Abraham whose work is found in most large European cities. Searching for these signs can make a game out of walking around a city!

below: A YYY sign, “pais apatrida busca asilo” while wearing a Spain T-shirt that says “Spain is different”. The words on the white bar translate to “stateless country seeks asylum”
