Artists
The heart of 167/B Street is the artists who paint, teach and plan with us. Here you can find out who we are and how we work on the walls of Lecce and around the world.
URBAN ARTIST, FOUNDER
Chekos'art
Francesco Ferreri, known as Chekos’art, is one of the pioneers of stencil art in Italy. He comes from the Milan graffiti scene.
His murals tell stories of social contrasts and collective memory. His works can be found from Xiamen in China to Tirana in Albania.
He is co-founder of 167/B Street and artistic director of the 167 Art Project in Lecce, running since 2017, and of MurAL Fest in Tirana (2018 and 2019).
