Hump Day Art: Peace Through Graffiti?

 

Congratulations! You’ve managed to get through the first 2.5 weekdays. To help you get through the second half of your week, Jewcy is happy to present you with Hump Day Art. Think of it as an opportunity to devote your attention to the more cultural things in life, or at the very least, to zone out at your desk for a few minutes while you look at some pretty pictures.

Iranian street artist A1one recently teamed up with Israeli artists Inspire and Poe to create a series of works called “Evolution of Violence” showcased on the walls of Tel Aviv and Tehran.

Inspire writes, “We were all born creators...we have no need for systems of control which ultimately help to cause senseless violence to evolve within our cultures...You don't have to fuck people over to survive…”

Here are images from both cities.

Tel Aviv

Tehran

Last week: Sand in the Holy Land

nice!

I really like this graffiti art, I can appreciate good graffiti art when it's more than just tagging. It's cool that the work has real meaning that people in these places can relate to and converse about. Keep up the good work and I hope to see one of these in real life!

Inspire is a criminal

Inspire stole my passport and he and Poe together hospitalized my sister when she confronted him about it.  You can read the whole story here:
