Sometimes it's more okay to be different in a large city than in a small town....

Many people worldwide just love to listen to his talks and would dearly pay for his 'jabbering'....

| Graffiti text: | I am Alyona Kutsan.I am 14 years old.
I am from Russia.I live in the town of
Krasnokamsk. There are some walls in it that are talking!
What is this wall talking about?
I think in such a way:
there are many nice cities and towns in
our country. The nature is rich. But there
are many plants and factories. Unfortunately some of them pollute the air and the water.

| Comment: | This is also a stencil. It says: Dare to be different. It shows a groups of sheep. They're all black, just one is white. It represents our society where everyone tries to fit in, be the same as everyone else. That is a common social phenomenon, not to stand out too much so as not to attract unwanted attention. I think the author is trying to tell the public that being different is okay. |

| Comment: | This is yet another stencil. It says something like: Because we are not goods. It was probably made during the protests about the minimum wage and working hours of factory workers. The working class stood up and marched around the city in hope of convincing the government that the new legislation about the topic was nonsense and that it violated basic working rights. Fine. |

| Comment: | This graffiti says: Tuitions, no thank you. It is one of the many graffiti on this topic that you can find in Ljubljana and other parts of Slovenia. Most of them appeared when the tuitions were one of the political issues and the government wanted to change the legislation about it. The students resisted, there were protests and the graffiti were just one way to express how we felt |

| Comment: | Another stencil. It says: I can see Ro. I saw this one in Bucharest, Romania. In my opinion it represents how we are always being watched. The phenomenon of the big brother has been known and talked about for a while now. The CCTV camera that is presented in the graffiti is one of the recognized symbols of big brother. |

| Comment: | This is a stencil (a graffiti method that means using a sheet of plastic or cardboard in which we cut a design so that ink or paint applied to the sheet reproduces the pattern on the surface beneath) of Josef Fritzl, also known as the Dungeon monster. He kidnapped his daughter and kept her in the family basement for 24 years. In the years of captivity his daughter gave birth to 7 of his children. The case was one of the most talked about media topics in 2008. The graffiti sarcastically names him as family man. |
