Visual Slang

Each culture has its own idioms — they reflect the experience, knowledge and traditions of a community. The unique slang used by the citizens of Bogotá has not only become an integral part of the local identity, it also mirrors the spontaneous energy of the Columbians. This project visualizes the oral expressions focusing on their humorous character in five categories: Food – Expressions – Things – People – Objects.
