Streets Against the War

Dear blog readers,

I don't know if you remember me, but I'm the one who used to tell you stories about music, books, art and other random stuff. I have been very busy, which caused a terrible silence of two months. Today I had my last exam, which puts an end to this stressful period. I have missed my little space on the world wide web, so I'm glad I can give it the attention it deserves!

So thank you for your patience, I'm back in business! And here's my very first blog post of 2011:

We all know there's a lot of worry about terrorism and war. A lot of people fight against these two forces: some people demonstrate, some people go to troubled countries to take action and some people try to make a difference in their own city.

A group from Turkey used another way of expressing themselves. They cut silhouettes of soldiers out of newspapers and turned them into street art. When you watch the silhouettes in the right order, you will see an animation. But there is a tiny problem: the silhouettes are spread over 4 cities, 294 walls and 2930 kilometers of road, so there is no way you will be able to see the animation in real life. Fortunately, there's this thing called 'youtube'!
