Lesbian kiss graffiti in downtown Yerevan

A year ago we witnessed Armenian version of “Some People Are Gay. Get Over It!” in Yerevan to mark IDAHOT.

Today this graffiti depicting lesbian kiss appeared in downtown Yerevan.

Whoever did it, big respects !!

Armenian version of “Some People Are Gay. Get Over It!” in Yerevan to mark IDAHOT

Activists in Yerevan posted Armenian version of Stonewall's message - “Some People Are Gay. Get Over It!”  - "Ոմանք գեյ են, թեթև տարեք" - across various parts of Yerevan, including street crossings, to mark IDAHOT. Respects!!

Yerevan Diaries: Little Prince (graffiti)

The Statue of the Worker in Yerevan: homoerotic, in pictures and graffiti

I never realised before that this Worker’s statue in Yerevan (by sculptor Ara Harutyunyan, 1981) was... homoerotic. Now looking at these pictures of the statue, I suddenly started viewing it in a different light ;) I do not think this was the intended outcome by the sculptor, but, hey, this is the way I perceive it ;) Unfortunately, the statue got dismantled in 1997 to use as a scrap metal. Shame, really.

Now guerilla street art group “ArtLab” in Yerevan revived the memories of the Worker’s statue by making this graffiti at around the place of former statue to make the surroundings “complete” (idea by artist Arthur Petrosyan).

Street art is experiencing its resurgence in Yerevan. A special 'graffiti community' was set up by enthusiasts covering mainly Armenian capital. There are also entries from Karabakh, Tbilisi, and related news there.

Tert.am also covers "Art in Yerevan streets" in this short video below.

The Tunnel: “authorised graffiti area" in London

I am not sure I liked the idea of “authorised graffiti”. It was fun to pass via the graffiti tunnel under the arches at London Waterloo station. But I prefer graffiti 'underground', rebellious rather than “authorised”.
