GRAFFITI

Shopping in Soho on Grand street, Friday afternoon. I noticed a book by Bansky. I was so eager to read through the book that I didn't notice the title. As I was skimming through the pages I noticed a phrase " we are always around". Reminded me of prof. Lennon when we had a discussion on graffiti. The phrase was a spoken language to were the graffiti artist can't be seen but expresses their feelings on gentrification.

cleaning up graffiti does not stop them from marking their territory. It's a part of their community!!! a place to they were born and raised. Having middle-class individuals come and take over their community, raising rent so high to were people have to live with one another is very astray.
