This is a HTN2021 mash-up involving KloWi (ig) and Codo (ig) in Kent Street. Codo also did a piece on the “peace” line (see Crowded Together). On the left is a portrait of Biggie Smalls by KRS-One (see Only Love Can Save Us); on the right is a small piece by Alice Pasquini (see Float).

Street art by Franc Got Buffed (ig) in Kent Street. His title, not ours – inspired by the Channel 4 reality ‘fixer upper’ show Escape To The Chateau (itself presumably inspired by the phrase “escape to the country”?)

Keep The Pizza In Mind!

Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

Combo piece by Pens (ig) x KVLR (ig) x Wee Nuls (Nuala Convery | ig | web) replacing the Gang Of Freaks by KVLR x Ten Hundred x Wee Nuls in Union Street, with an echo back to KVLR’s 2015 piece in this spot: Pizza Pipe. Official title: Patchwork Creeps. KVLR and Wee Nuls had earlier done the pieces in the windows of the Sunflower (see final image), as a demo for an audience at the August launch of the programme for HTN21 (Belfast Live).

The menagerie in the background is by Malarky.
