However, I am not a huge fan of the emerging graffiti culture in Delhi, for instance (Though Mumbai has some awesome stuff). <br/><br/>The Free Binayak Sen stencils was an example of the type of political activism that gives that kind of work legitimacy (to my mind) at least in a space where it is still maturing. I’ve seen beautiful, artisan expression on walls in Mumbai which feels more like real street art - not the scribbles seen in HKV or ads for musicians. An ad is, at some level, always going to remain an ad.</p>http://www.shriyamalhotra.com/post/17690816115http://www.shriyamalhotra.com/post/17690816115Wed, 15 Feb 2012 21:27:00 -0500adsstreet artIndia<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/KXPtQCVIe7Y?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>Trailer for a street art film with an interesting<a href="http://blog.bombit-themovie.com/"> blog </a></p>http://www.shriyamalhotra.com/post/17689336557http://www.shriyamalhotra.com/post/17689336557Wed, 15 Feb 2012 21:03:54 -0500<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/AdM8EWNV6pc?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p><strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/AmsterdamizeTV/feed">AmsterdamizeTV</a> - Broadcasting good city living 24/7!</strong><span> </span></p> <p><span>“Talk about capturing good city living!  His blog is also great…particularly this </span><span><a href="http://amsterdamize.com/2011/11/15/hurt-and-heart/"><span>post</span></a></span><span>!
