“It comes down to whether you feel grateful to be able to express it and I think Santiago really got that.” – Steven Abriani
The Expressionist talked to Loyola senior Steven Abriani about his experience filming his documentary which focuses on street art in Santiago, Chile! Steven, a film major, was a part of a two week course taught by twelve-time Emmy winner, John Goheen. In his documentary, Writing on the Walls, Steven explores the relationships between the various citizens of Santiago and their take on street art.
Listen to what Steven has to say about his experience filming the documentary and be sure to check out his documentary here!
Do you agree with Steven? Can we appreciate art from anywhere, despite not understanding the particular shared history of the people from another country?
