SMASH RACISM Graffiti Mural Hove Lagoon
STRONG WORDS REQUIRE VOLUME
Proud to be part of the team that was part of making this 150 ft smash racism Mural at Hove Lagoon, Brighton happen.
This graffiti mural was painted to send a very clear message that Racism of any kind will not be tolerated and we should be ashamed of a society where its even an issue. We all need to stand up against the disgusting acts we have seen from police forces, members of the public and governments all over the world. This cannot continue.
We cannot ignore it or stay silent. Action is the only way we can get change.
The most important thing we can is stand up to discrimination when we see it, whether that’s in the workplace, in public, online and so fourth. The colour of your skin should not effect your safety, your chance of employment or your quality of life.
Artist involved includes Aroe, Sprite, Skatin Chinchilla, Solveig Maseyk, Dj Format, Anna Barnfield, Eden Maseyk, Fox-Cat, Corekt, Reece Gayler & Danny Big Beach.
