From Jerm IX:
“the first two lines from this piece are from a suicide note i wrote in jail at 16. i have found solace in letting go of my darkest pains on the streets in the form of poetry and for some reason this came out of me today. i am so thankful to have survived that attempt at ending it all.”
Tactical Stencil Lab is “a stencil graffiti action aimed at counteracting concerted effort by US Military to recruit in minority and poor neighborhoods.”
“We are a group of anonymous culture jammers. This action marks the start of our campaign of counteracting manipulative and exploitative propaganda aimed at the most vulnerable members of our community, through non-violent direct action.
We encourage everyone who watches this to think of a creative ways of engaging injustices in their communities. Do not be complacent, do not be indifferent…
Peace
Tactical Stencil Lab”

Via EnglishRussia.com comes this terrific project in Lvov City, Ukraine in which a massive crossword puzzle was painted on the side of a 100 ft high apartment building.
Questions for the puzzle can be found in various locations around the city, on monuments, theaters, fountains, etc. Each evening people meet at the building to check their answers. The way this works is that in the day time the puzzle is empty. But at night special florescent lights come on, and the answers in the puzzle become visible.
More photos from the Fame Festival here.
