Context
Back in the day these pieces would be up for months or years, much longer before it was considered art. The halcyon days for street interventions. I love that you can see the graffiti on the green bridge in the background. That slogan was pasted all over Toronto to protest the 1988 G-8 meeting in Toronto.
