Street art in La Paz

Map of street art in La Paz (Bolivia)

La Paz is the seat of the Bolivian government, stretched between 3,200 and 4,100 meters altitude in a vertiginous valley of the Andean Altiplano. Together with its twin city El Alto and their two million inhabitants, it forms one of the highest metropolitan areas in the world, dominated by the snowy peak of the Illimani.

The street art scene crystallized around the anarcho-feminist collective Mujeres Creando, founded in 1992, whose poetic stencils and graffiti still run across the walls of the city center. A new generation has taken over with Knorke Leaf, Roberto Mamani Mamani, and their collectives, opening muralism to Aymara and Quechua culture.

The defining event remains the Chualluma project, the country's first macromural completed in 2019, which transformed 160 houses in a working-class neighborhood into an open-air gallery. In El Alto, Mamani Mamani's Condominio Wiphala extends this indigenous aesthetic across seven residential towers, making La Paz a benchmark of Andean muralism.
