On May 11, the “World Kréyol Art Festival” hosted another “DSP Block Party” at the Place de la Victoire in Pointe-à-Pitre (Guadeloupe) between 4:00 pm and 10:00 pm. The audience and the artists were more numerous than at Dubouchage’s bus station the previous Saturday. During this new American neighborhood party that presented urban culture, two new graffiti artists – Banga (In a Sentimental Mood) and Alfrédus (Fusion and Osmose) – took part in the “street art” contest, making their worksin front of the spectators.
