Writer Allison Foat gazes on Justin Nomad's mural on Tennyson Street. Titled 'The Library', it shows the contrasting ways of learning from the past to the present.Street art in the Mother City is lit. Embraced as a cultural asset, this form of artistic expression is intrinsic to the urban landscape and has become a cherished part of the city's heritage and DNA.
Dissed as anti-establishment and vilified as vandalism, graffiti today resonates as a contemporary phenomenon that has morphed beyond the subcultural vocabulary once associated only with gangs and recalcitrant youth. 'Nature is still the most accurate technology' by French artist Maye is on Salt River Road in Salt River, Cape Town.Today state-sanctioned street art is a thing. Take Salt River, once the textile and industrial epicentre of the Western Cape and one of only a handful of places that managed to evade forced removals during apartheid.
The artists have to promote inclusivity, dialogue, collaboration and positivity. Community engagement is helped by partnerships between the City of Cape Town, residents, local cooks, small businesses and volunteers.
So love this creativity. Far far better than walls of grey👍💖
