NYC Meets Oakland In ‘Grafiteras’ Art Exhibit Featuring TooFly And Dime

August 17, 2017. Leave a Comment

It’s a meeting of two cities with New York-born and Ecuadarian-based graffiti artist Toofly aka Maria Castillo and Oakland-born creative Dime aka Leslie Lopez combining creative forces in an street-art themed exhibit titled “Grafiteras,” featuring art, workshops and a pop-up shop.

Rooted in the artists shared Latina heritage, the work celebrates the mash up of language, art, music, food and cultural traditions that inform their family histories.

According to press: “Both women were raised in the tumultuous ’90s era. Toofly hails from Corona, Queens, New York, Dime from Oakland, California. As young graffiti artists they made their mark in a male dominated graffiti scene. The challenges of being immigrant and brown women did not deter their journey of self-discovery. In fact, it influenced the trailblazing art they create today.”

“Grafiteras” opens on August 18th and runs through October 1st at the Oakland Eastside Arts Alliance & Cultural Center, located at 2277 International Blvd, Oakland, California. Visit tooflynyc.com for more details on timing of events.

#Grafiteras “East meets West” curated by Toofly & Dime. August 18th from 6-10PM at EastSide Arts Alliance ( gallery ) 2277 International Blvd Oakland CA #tooflydime #graffitimujer #graffitiwomen #womeninstreetart #streetheroines
