Giulia Riva

I’m a writer who is specialized in street art and graffiti. Since 2011 I’ve run the independent street art blog 'BLocal Travel', which has been the media partner of important street art festivals around Europe. I create content for creative enterprises and museums, and my writing was published in street art catalogs and art publications.

I reveal the stories that remain untold in the streets. I design and create content to unveil the creative and rebellious soul of a city. I am an editor, content creator, consultant, writer, copywriter, urban guide, and travel designer. I was the Communication & Content Manager of Amsterdam’s STRAAT Museum and, over the years, I have worked and written for museums, art galleries, street art festivals, magazines, websites, travel guidebooks, and urban art blogs.

I spend long periods in several cities around Europe, and I tell the stories of these cities from the point of view of the locals on my blog (that’s basically what the name ‘Be Local’ stands for).
