How’s this for a piece of local democracy? People in London are getting the chance to vote whether or not they
should keep or remove some of the cities’ rather famous graffiti.

INTERVIEWEE1
I think if I like it, I might be more supportive of it, but if it’s something that doesn’t interest me as much, then I
think I’d probably not think anything much of it.
03 INT. SIXTH FORM. NOVEMBER. MORNING., 03
INTERVIEWEE2
I would categorize it as a medium because people like to experiment on different surfaces and experience
different art forms.
04 EXT. ROYAL OAK. NOVEMBER. AFTERNOON. 04

INTERVIEWEE4
I don’t really know Banksy, but I’ve heard of him, so for him to come round my area and do some artwork
` on my house – I would feel honoured.

Street art is one of the most controversial areas in contemporary art. It’s become a global phenomenon.
Majority of people would say street art is just graffiti, but is that what street art is all about. We will be
following street artists based in London to find out why they like to do graffiti. This series is a chance for people
to justify their views on art mediums. Banksy no longer rules the streets when it comes to spectacular urban art.
A new generation of artists are pushing the boundaries of the form – and for some seeing their work taken
seriously by established galleries.

It degrades the neighbourhood.
V/O: INTERVIEWEE2
Someone has gone over the wall, and prettied it up a bit.
V/O: INTERVIEWEE3
It’s just a mess.
V/O: INTERVIEWEE4
It’s rubbish.
V/O: INTERVIEWEE5
I think it should stay to be honest. A lot of graffiti has got political views involved, some includes people’s
opinions and a lot of it looks really well done.
V/O: INTERVIEWEE6
Absolutely fantastic. Beautiful piece of art.
V/O: INTERVIEWEE7
Some see it as a way of reclaiming public space, to others it's reckless vandalism.

Well everything is art, but it all depends on where you put it. You can’t go round defacing people’s property.

V/O: TMAGIC
TMagic started 2003 umm 2004 while I was in university studying umm graphic design, visual communication.
At the beginning I wasn’t thinking of TMagic as a brand. Yanno it was pretty much getting fly things that we
wanted to wear and look cool, but I mean as people started to pay more attention yanno we got a lot of
compliments cos yanno I did it for myself and my friends. We would just go out party, raving whatever it was.
We got a lot of compliments. When we was in Miami, even Usher, the music artist stopped us and he was
interested in what we were wearing. So yanno I decided to sort of take it seriously. I’ve got no shame to put it
out there “Art Is My Hustle” It’s the way I survive if I don’t and this is why I take my art so seriously because if
I’m not at a level where I am creating the best art possible then I don’t expect people to buy in to what I’m doing
and then I’m not going to be able to survive so yanno I take my art dead dead seriously. I mean, yanno I take no
days off, every single day I’m in my studio working on new pieces cos I mean yanno I mean I breathe creativity,
I mean it is my air, it’s what helps me function.
