Raw street art in Ghent; the car-free Werregarenstraatje in the center of Ghent is a tolerance zone for graffiti: officially not allowed to put pieces / tags here, but it is tolerated. The tolerance zone arose during the Ghent festivities of 1995 as a graffiti project. The street soon got the nickname "graffitistraatje".⏬
