New readers of my blog should go back to my my initial posts to understand what street art is all about and what my personal aims are. My street art interventions (to recap) are about interaction, debate, fun and even irritation on the streets of Johannesburg in an effort to comment on the city, its workings and its people.
Currently I find Johannesburg a dirty, neglected, almost abandoned city mainly due to poor services and management. I drive past the chaos that the Rea Vaya transport project (BRT) has become on Empire Rd daily and am constantly disturbed by the way in which the yellow barriers seem to migrate over the streets and pavements. I decided to relocate some barriers in a quick street art project to create awareness and promote the festival simultaneously.
The coloured pipes spouting from the tops of the barriers in a festival manner were made from off cut pipes left behind by Neotel after ripping up our pavements and leaving a general mess behind.
As always I shall clean up after myself.
