Why the problem with grafitti? Its a wonderful political and social tool.
Don't know much about its artistic credentials. If the urban legends are to
be believed, during the bad old days of Apartheid the South African
police force actually had a grafitti unit-no not to catch the pepetrators but
to follow their grafitti with suitable rejoinders. Sometimes even starting up
dialogues. They were apparently responsible for some of the best
political grafitti in Cape Town. I love this country.
