STIK to the rear of Pogo Cafe, Clarence Road, London E5. The figures with flames behind them are yards away from some of the worst violence and vandalism of the August riots in London as seen in some of my earlier photos, where Clarence Road turned into a mini war-zone:

Graffiti Consciousness - The Art of Street Politics

Free exhibition @ Pogo Café, Hackney, London - May 2007

 

Is graffiti mindless?

 

Whatever you think about graffiti, from tags to major works of art, there are some graffiti artists whose work is often outwardly political and social; sending out a strong, sometimes subtle, message about the state of our society today.

 

The exhibition features Martin Bull’s black & white photographs of street graffiti and posterings by Banksy, Arofish, Mantis, Jimmy Cauty, El Chivo, Eine, Shepard Fairey, Blek le Rat, Junkerade, & others, as well as accompanying art works by several of the above. Original art on loan includes three from Arofish; a brand new canvas, a stunning 'Eject & Survive on a map of Afghanistan, and a cardboard version of the angel and paratroppers. mantis has done an iNeed on a page of The Financial Times, and I've also got a canvas from Junkerade.

 

It opened on the 2nd of may, which was also the 4th anniversary of the occupation of Iraq. Only 26,540 civilian deaths in this 4th year- ho hum.....

leo ordered the vegan carrot cake with a scoop of vegan ice cream.

 

just look at it... does it not look like the best slice of carrot cake ever? it sure tasted like the best carrot cake ever... vegan or not.

Thought this guy seemed rather involved in thought and the light around him seemed to add to the mood. Bit darker than I had hoped, but I think it still manages to work.

strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla ice cream accompanied by crushed biscuits, mango sauce, chocolate sauce... topped with vegan whipped cream and cocoa.

Dom enjoys his Knickerbocker glory at Pogo Cafe in Hackney! (its VEGAN!)
