Ελπίζουμε να δούμε περισσότερα graffiti ενάντια στο ναζισμό

Το πιο αντιναζιστικό γκράφιτι της Ευρώπης είναι ελληνική δημιουργία και θα το βρεις να δεσπόζει σε τοίχο της Νομικής Αθηνών.

Συγκεκριμένα, φοιτητές του Αυτοδιαχειριζόμενου Κυλικείου Νομικής είχαν την ιδέα να καλέσουν με τον καλλιτέχνη Gera 1 kai να απαθανατιστεί εντός της σχολής η γροθιά-σύμβολο κατά του νενοναζιστικού κινήματος της Tess Asplund. Η Asplund είχε γίνει στα τέλη Μαΐου του 2016 παγκοσμίως γνωστή για τη γενναία της κίνηση να σταθεί μπροστά από τη συγκέντρωση των μελών του ακροδεξιού – νεοναζιστικού σουηδικού κόμματος Σκανδιναβικό Κίνημα Αντίστασης και να υψώσει τη γροθιά της.

Έτσι,o Gera 1 δημιούργησε στο αίθριο το πιο αντιναζιστικό γκράφιτι που θα βρεις στην Ευρώπη. Δίπλα από τη γροθιά-σύμβολο της Asplund, το σχέδιο του Collage.

The youth workers Sandra Morenilla Nielsen, Markus Hinger and the project coordinator Myrto-Helena Pertsinidi Myrele Per, led an art workshop in which pupils of the 3rd and the 9th Primary School of Nea Ionia participated. On the first day the pupils played some energizers and warm-up games in English with the youth workers and then, they drew on a piece of paper an object or an activity they like. All pupils showed and explained in English what they drew. It was very interesting to see how creative and imaginative the children were! The following day, the pupils would paint on the WALLS of their schools and could not hide their excitement! The street artists Bojan Lacmanović and Dejan Ivanovic Wuper Kec designed the outlines on the walls of the two schools based on the drawings that the pupils did the previous day, and then, the pupils coloured the drawings. Some of the pupils did even draw on the wall and then painted the drawings. There was definitely a lot of freedom and creativity in this workshop which of course led to many interesting surprises..! The 3rd Primary School of Nea Ionia is very proud of the stunning mural created by the street artists Ap Set, Nikola Mihajlović (Kori) and Bojan Lacmanović supported by the youth worker Sandra Morenilla Nielsen and the 9th Primary School of Nea Ionia is also very glad to have a wonderful mural created by Dejan Ivanovic Wuper Kec.
