Aerosol Arabic, Beyond the CCTV and Other Updates
| Here are some links to sites that are inspiring me work-wise at the moment. The first is AerosolArabic: Urban Islamic Art, the site of Mohammed Ali, an Islamic graffiti artist in the UK. According to the website, Mohammed ‘takes his inspiration from the modern urban-art of graffiti and weaves it together with the grace and eloquence of Islamic Arabic calligraphy’. You can view clips about his work and workshops with youth on You Tube. Another site which I keep checking in on at the moment is Beyond the CCTV: Melbourne City Street Art Project. This is the blog for a project that some of my colleagues are working on and is updated by the artists working on the City of Melbourne’s Graffiti Mentoring Pilot Project. Check out Union Lane if you are in Melbourne to see how it evolves. CMYI (Centre for Multicultural Youth Issues) is coordinating the Multicultural Youth Pledge a campaign ‘working to set the record straight, get some balance into the discussion, counter myths and provide information about the situation of migrant and refugee young people’. The Making Links conference is coming to Melbourne next year. You can also access some of the presentations at the website from this year’s conference.
