Graffiti Mural
“The
thing I hate the most about advertising is that it attracts all the bright,
creative and ambitious young people, leaving us mainly with the slow and
self-obsessed to become our artists. Modern art is a disaster area. Never in
the field of human history has so much been used by so many to say so
little.”

is beautiful; like a brick in the face of a cop.”

“Graffiti
is one of the few tools you have if you have almost nothing. And even if you
don't come up with a picture to cure world poverty you can make someone smile
while they're having a piss.”

Nosferatu
“Imagine
a city where graffiti wasn't illegal, a city where everybody could draw
whatever they liked. Where every street was awash with a million colours and
little phrases. Where standing at a bus stop was never boring. A city that felt
like a party where everyone was invited, not just the estate agents and barons
of big business. Imagine a city like that and stop leaning against the wall -
it's wet.”

Ayotzinapa
2014 Iguala Mass Kidnapping
On September 26, 2014, 43 male students from the Rural
Teachers' College of Ayotzinapa went missing in Iguala, Guerrero, Mexico.
According to official reports, they commandeered several buses and traveled to
Iguala that day to hold a protest at a conference led by the mayor's wife.
During the journey local police intercepted them and a confrontation ensued.
Details of what happened during and after the clash remain unclear, but the
official investigation concluded that once the students were in custody, they
were handed over to the local Guerreros
Unidos ("United Warriors") crime syndicate and
presumably killed. Mexican authorities claimed Iguala's mayor, José Luis Abarca
Velázquez, and his wife María de los Ángeles Pineda Villa, masterminded the
abduction.
Both Abarca and Pineda Villa fled after the incident, but were
arrested about a month later in Mexico City. Iguala's police chief, Felipe
Flores Velásquez, remains a fugitive. The events caused social unrest in parts
of Guerrero and led to attacks on government buildings, and the resignation of
the Governor of Guerrero, Ángel Aguirre Rivero, in the face of
statewide protests. The mass kidnapping of the students arguably became the
biggest political and public security scandal Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto had faced during his
administration. It led to nationwide protests, particularly in the state of
Guerrero and Mexico City, and international condemnation. (Wikipedia)

Graffiti Spell
“Modern
bourgeois society with its relations of production, of exchange, and of
property, a society that has conjured up such gigantic means of production and
of exchange, is like the sorcerer, who is no longer able to control the powers
of the nether world whom he has called up by his spells.”
