Today, I took a photo walk around the Welling Court Mural Project in Astoria, Queens, NYC.
“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 colors 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.” (Banksy)
“I believe we cannot escape our destiny to create whatever it is we make — jazz, a wooden spoon, or graffiti on the wall.” (Orson Welles)
“Art is for everybody.” (Keith Haring)
Another example of The Science™ in action.
“The walls are the publishers of the poor.” (Eduardo Galeano)
there are some murals in the small town here too, but they are 'artistic' ones, with people paid to make them and nothing spontaneous and especially lovely, the stop the animal abuse !
What an uplifting share. Thank you!!🌈🎨☀️
