Arts
In this episode, host Dani Van De Broucke chats with the uber-cool Jason and Stan, founders of Hong Kong Walls; a group responsible for much of the incredible Graffiti and Street Art around central Hong Kong. We've all heard of Banksy, and he has many global counterparts; In the NYC 'Fade', in India 'DAKU', In Spain 'ESCIF.' In every country around the world, you can find graffiti and street artists using their art to challenge the social hegemony. Perhaps it is only natural that an art form with its roots in a more underground culture, should be the medium to transmit this kind of message.Conversely, sanctioned graffiti art can also now be found on the walls in every major city. Private residents pay to have artists 'add value' to the boring walls of their property. Street art is being used as a medium through which communities are being brought together. This is exactly what is happening at HK Walls. We hope you enjoy the show.
