Graffiti in Nørrebro[youtube]

The Museum of Copenhagen put up this little interview with Søren, where he expresses his point of view about graffiti in Nørrebro. The video is part of the museums Nørrebro project.

Søren på 24 fortæller om sit forhold til graffiti på Nørrebro. Han mener,at man skal se graffiti som en måde at kommunikere mellem borgere i det offentlige rum, der i forvejen er fuld af visuel kommunikation, men som reklamer og butiksskilte.

One of the features of the magazine is on Homo:

How’s the situation in Copenhagen nowadays? It seems like security has become tighter and the punishments have become harsher?
Homo: Copenhagen has always offered the possibility to paint trains and I think it
always will. But there has been a clear increase of stress in recent times. But
as long as you know how to act, it’s always chill isn’t it hehe?
