In response to Bruno David –
Graffiti arose as the most democratic form of making and public expression, from communities who were not included in art world spaces. Now, we see the same art pillaged and displayed as a sampling of “grit and grime” whitewashed and supported by the framework of colonial thinking. The distance between Clayton and the Flood Wall is more than physical. It’s economic, it’s racial – it’s an ideological divide.
