  • The creatively painted Diablos Rojos bus (Red Devils) every day still travel the streets of Panamà with their low fares. This fleet of school buses, creatively transformed into works of art by their owners, are a unique aspect of Panamà City, a true cultural experience. Many buses have paintings of religious icons, pop culture heroes, actresses, sport stars, politicians. The drivers choose their own routes and on the front of the bus is usually painted the destination. Music at high volume, poor ventilation and lack of security transform the buses in a uncomfortable transport system. Panamà’s governement is trying the put end to the legend of Diablos Rojos but Panamà expresses its popular culture through the bus painting, in the way murals do for other cities, so this expression of popular art could end in few years.

  • Tzfat. Many doors are painted in blue, the colour of heaven. Tzfat, Israel’s highest city in upper Galilee, is one of the 4 holy cities of Israel with Jerusalem, Tiberias and Hebron. Perhaps this proximity to the heaven, blue like the colour of the doorways in the cobbled passages, accounts for its reputation as the "Capital of Kabbalah", the Jewish mystical tradition. The Kabbalistic wisdom, the oldest in the history of mankind, investigates and explains the codes of universe and for thousands of years very few Jewish mystics knew the secrets of Kabbalah. For many centuries Tzfat has been the home of masters of Kabbalah and after their expulsion from Spain in 1492 many jews arrived in Tzfat, seeking refuge in tolerant Ottoman Empire, attracting the best scholars of Kabbalah. The Tzfat’s modern-day mystics come from different background, descendants of traditional rabbis but also baalei t’shuva, “masters of return” turned to Hasidic Judaism after a life in a agnostic background.
