Yarn Bombing? Yes, I said Yarn bombing. I read this article today and I found it to be very intriguing. http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/article/712784–graffiti-gangs-chant-knit-one-purl-two
Yarn bombing is a new type of graffiti. People from all over the world are tagging all sorts of objects with coloured knits such as a part of the Great Wall of China, telephone poles, buses and anything else they can tie knits onto.
We’re against graffiti but the Yarn Bombers say that it’s just meant to beautify their neighbourhoods or to promote the art form since it’s not that well known. Others think it’s going against “consumerism” and because it doesn’t damage property it’s just seen as an interesting version of art.
I find this to be interesting since no one can really say anything against this form of expression because it isn’t damaging and they’re taking an interest in their community and that is a good thing.
If all they want to do is express their art and beautify their communities than let them continue their work and it will better the community too.
