the images and words adorning the walls of east timor reflect the country's tumultuous history, precarious present and hopeful future. they endow the social landscape with a rawness and honesty not found in other media there, and echo the struggle of new nationhood. peace of wall is widely contradictory, emotionally charged, instantly engaging and consistently dramatic. it's life in east timor.
Wow! Congratulations to the authors of peaceofwall.blogspot.com and to the talented street artists of Timor-Leste. I was constantly amazed by the power of this art when I lived in Dili (2000 - 2004)and I am really happy that it is now accessible via this blog. Thanksalot!
