Red Telephone Box

Everybody knows that the Red Telephone Box are a traditional symbol of London, they appeared in the streets around 1920,  after some changes in 1980 they got the same shape and color until now.

Walking in streets of  London I saw some different Red Telephone Box, so I got curious and I research what was going on with the typical Telephone Boxes. The project is called  BT ArtBox from the British Telecom , in which some artists are giving a new "face" to the classic Red Box. It is for commemorating the birthday of an ONG, called Childline,  that gives advice to kids from telephone. And after the exhibitions the Telephone Box are going to be sell and the money will go to the ONG.

London is always unexpected, sometimes you are walking in the streets and you get surprise in what you can see. Especially now during the summer and the Olympic Games coming soon, a lot of festival and exhibitions, there are so many that you can't know all of them .

Bringing art to the population is to bring knowledge, and is a good way to help a ONG. The artists can show they work and point of view and people can get this "message" everyone in the best way for themselves.

Sometimes I stop and think about how amazing this city is. How can a lot of amazing things happen in the same time. How can all this traditional and culture be always innovating. How they accept so easy the new things and how important the Art is for them. 

Is clear that all this new concepts ,have a visible influence in the way people are here. It can be seeing  in the attitudes , the way they dress.
