Distrito Grafiti

This guide to Distrito Grafiti in Bogotá opens on an August night in 2011, when sixteen-year-old graffiti writer Diego Felipe Becerra finished a signature tag under a highway overpass and was shot by a police patrolman who told reporters he was an armed robber. His own father later uncovered evidence that contradicted the official account. Two years afterward, Justin Bieber flew in for a concert and asked police to escort him to a wall so he could spray a Canadian flag over a marijuana leaf.
