Streets: World Roundup (March 19 – March 25)

Posted by sleepboy, March 24, 2012

Another weekend, another Streets: World Roundup here on AM. The highlighted mural this time comes from Tahrir Square in Egypt where Sheikh Khan painted one of the barriers that the Egyptian military erected to divide the streets that connect to government power centers.

Other street work that caught out eyes this week include Vhils (Luxembourg), [...]

Showing: Push – “Divided Attention” @ Known Gallery
