Living Walls, The City Speaks is an annual street art conference co-founded in 2009 by Monica Campana & Blacki Migliozzi.
[3] During the events, local and invited artists create murals and other street art.

This resulted in the DOT lacquering the street art piece, "An Allegory," produced by an artist invited by Living Walls.
[5] Another mural, created by an Argentine painter, Hyuro, depicted a nude woman, and was vandalized.
