Current Affairs Prague exhibition highlights artistic merits of graffiti
Like many cities, Prague has more than its fair share of graffiti. It's certainly one of the more visible changes in the appearance of the Czech capital since the fall of communism. Many people are appalled by the increase in graffiti around Prague, which can often be seen defacing the beautiful facades of the city's historical buildings. It is hardly surprising therefore that tough legislation introduced a few years ago, which made it possible to send graffiti artists to prison won widespread support here. Despite the tougher laws, however, graffiti still continues unabated. Now a new exhibition has been launched in Prague, which highlights the creative side of graffiti and explores some different approaches to the problem.
