  • Durban Reverse Graffiti
    Graffiti is one of the most controversial art forms out there since it defaces public property - but what if graffiti artists actually <b>cleaned up</b> the walls they tagged up by etching their sketches into the grime that already exists on them? The delightful process, called reverse graffiti or "scrubbing" isn't new - we've written about it here and here before - but awesome examples of it keep popping up. Case in point: one band of students in Durban, South Africa who've been gracing spaces with works of the subversive street art form in their area.
