TL;DR: The mural festivals that have become common all over the world in the last five years are often called street art festivals, and the murals produced in those festivals are often referred to as street art.
Abstract: The mural festivals that have become common all over the world in the last five years are often called street art festivals, and the murals produced in those festivals are often referred to as street art. This use of the term creates confusion, since there are clear and fundamental differences between the smaller, unsanctioned works we used to call street art in the past decade and the huge institutional murals of today. The aim of this text is to try and identify the differences between these two practices.

TL;DR: In Stemnitsa, a wealthy post-Byzantine town with a rich historical heritage in the central Peloponnese, five churches with mural paintings of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries have been found as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Five churches with mural paintings of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries
have survived in Stemnitsa, a wealthy post-Byzantine town with a rich
historical heritage in the central Peloponnese. In the sixteenth century the
Church of St Nicholas and in the seventeenth century the wall-paintings in
four churches, Panagia Baphero, Prophet Elijah, St Panteleemon and the
katholikon of the monastery of the Zoodochos Pege are consistent with the
general clime of seventeenth-century painting in the Peloponnese where many
and different trends developed in this period.

TL;DR: Cuba's artistic tradition is as rich as its history, though its treasures are rarely appreciated outside of the country as mentioned in this paper, which includes paintings, drawings and photography from Cuba done over the past century and a half.
Abstract: Cuba's artistic tradition is as rich as its history, though its treasures are rarely appreciated outside of the country. This catalog, which accompanied an exhibition at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, gathers paintings, drawings and photography from Cuba done over the past century and a half. In addition to hundreds of works on paper, it features revealing photographs-some never before published-that record the country's wars of independence and revolution, its utopian endeavors and social realities. Numerous essays explore aspects of the Cuban visual arts such as nineteenth-century landscapes and photojournalism, the burgeoning of the arte nuevo period, Wifredo Lam's seminal African-inspired images, the creation of the famed collective mural, Castro-era poster art and the emergence of a new generation of artists. This book chronicles a unique culture of synthesis, born at the crossroads of Europe, Africa and the Americas, and whose art bears witness to important historical events of the past 150 years.
