The SITA After movie, still keeps bringing the heat
In the Netherlands, there is never a guarantee that it will be warm or dry in September. However on the 25th and 26th of September 2021, there was not only a pleasant temperature for graffiti writers to paint in, but it was also burning hot in De Berenkuil for the 12th annual Step In The Arena graffiti festival, presented by the DYNAMO team.
