Faith47 has painted this huge mural in Johannesburg, South Africa. I think the scale of this piece turns it into a major act of rebellion. Yes, on the smaller scale, the painting would be a nice reminder of what democracy is all about and the lettering would still be pretty, but making the mural six stories tall creates an imposition on the city. While the people shouldn’t be ignored, this mural can’t be ignored.
