Is the War Against Iran in British or European Interests? Sun Jun 22, 2025 15:00 | Noah Carl
A collapse of the Iranian state would not be in Britain or the rest of Europe's interests. There could be another mass exodus of refugees to Europe?just like the one in 2015, only larger.

event notice
 Wednesday March 04, 2009 11:35 by seomra spraoi cinema seomraspraoicinema at gmail dot com 10 Belvidere Court, off Gardiner Street, Dublin 1
One reason graffiti is such a volatile issue is because it touches on many fundamental questions of urban life. What constitutes public space? Who gets to decide how it will be used? Is advertising in public spaces a form of pollution?
Jon Reiss’s 2008 documentary Bomb present a wide sampling of graffiti art from around the world, and a variety of viewpoints relating to graffiti. He includes interviews with everyone from first-generation graffiti artists to academic theorists: segments shot in South Africa, Brazil, Europe and Japan are particularly useful in broadening the discussion.
 The documentary is primarily composed of footage showing various graffiti artists doing their thing -- if you're into street art in the slightest you'll get a kick out of this stuff -- meshed with interview footage of notable graffiti artists like Belx2, Lady Pink, Toe, and crew TKO. We also meet Taki 183, NYC's first tagger, and Philadelphia's Cornbread, the father of the tagging movement
Contextualized as a “gateway crime”, street graffiti initiated the ongoing debate and fight for control over public space and the ensuing global proliferation of “Quality of Life” behavioral modification laws. Reiss has perfectly pitched this debate in his documentary, giving voice not only to the urban artists who protest foisted gentrification and its class-structured arguments of neutral space but the anti-graffiti advocates who question and seek to exclude its presence.
