Interview with Giulia ‘BLocal’ Riva about: "As Seen on the Streets of Paris"

Paris, November 22nd — Writer and street art expert Giulia ‘BLocal’ Riva announces the release of her new book, As Seen on the Streets of Paris. The first in the series "As Seen on the Streets of...", this book seamlessly combines the depth of a travel guide with the visual splendor of an art photography collection. Offering a unique perspective on Paris' street art culture, it reveals why this city occupies a pivotal role in the European urban art scene. Featuring over 250 striking photographs by Paolo Giannotti and insights from 13 Parisian street artists, As Seen on the Streets of Paris invites readers to embark on a journey through the French capital’s urban art landscape. The series "As Seen on the Streets of..." will continue in 2025 with new editions focusing on other major street art capitals, including London, Athens, Madrid, Rome, Lisbon, and Berlin. Each book will celebrate the distinctive urban art scenes of these cities, blending local perspectives with captivating visual storytelling. True to the ethos of “Be Local”, the guiding principle behind Giulia’s travel and street art blog “BLocal” (a respected voice in the field since 2011), this book reflects not only the author’s perspective but also the voices of the Parisian street artists she interviewed. Their contributions infuse the guide with authentic local flavor, leading readers to both iconic landmarks and hidden gems—offering a richer, non-touristy glimpse into the life of the city.
