Dissenting voices
In and around the streets of Brick lane there has been an explosion of street art . Images change on an almost daily basis as artists find new hidden corners,doorways , lampposts, building site boarding and in fact anywhere that may support an image. Artists desperate to expose their work paint over existing images ,this living breathing art gallery is the place to speak to an untamed audience.
In an age where rebellion and protest are seemingly marginalised or viewed as extreme the alternative voice to the status quo is rare and so it is refreshing to see the shoots of disquiet appearing more frequently in this alternative street gallery. The voices at times maybe strange or disjointed but are at least here.
'The pen is mightier than the sword 'but here the spray can and montage are smarter. It is therefore fitting that in a street that is so symbolic of political protest that dissenting voice is heard once again.
