Our weekly focus on the moving image and art in the streets. And other oddities.

Now screening:

2. DOES: Cement Graffiti piece at Amsterdam’s STRAAT Museum
3. New Border. Imagine a different kind of Southern Border between the USA and Mexico.

BSA Special Feature: Global Street Art: “Cultural Vandals”?

Calmer, more measured perhaps, and still pissed off at those who appropriate the culture and then mow it over, here’s Doug Gillen examining a community led mural program being dissed by a fast food corporation in Cardiff, Wales. More alarming perhaps are the middle people who smooth the path and take a cut, according to this new episode of Fifth Walls, called “Cultural Vandals”.

DOES: Cement Graffiti piece at Amsterdam’s STRAAT Museum

An unusual feat of art-making that brings his piece into another dimension, DOES builds up the foundation for his lettering with a carefully applied layer of cement. STRAAT Museum has the story and DOES brings the skillz.

New Border. Imagine a different kind of Southern Border between the USA and Mexico.

The project is called “New Border” and it proposes a constructive alternative bilateral, ecological and humanistic solution to the wall erected (in part) under the Trump administration on the decaying US-Mexican border.
