In the weeks preceding Festigraff 5, the artists built an Artists’ Village in the back lot of the old Biscuiterie in the Médina, now a performance and media center. They built stalls for streetwear designers, a food and DJ stand, and even assembled a graffiti tree. During Festigraff 5, the Artists Village became the meeting point, where people browsed for fashions, dancers gave dance classes, roller bladers gave a demo, and of course the graffeurs painted all the walls. They also painted cars and motor bikes.
