Urban Politics

“Art is an evolutionary act. The shape of art and its role in society is constantly changing. At no point is art static. There are no rules.”

― Raymond Salvatore Harmon, BOMB: A Manifesto of Art Terrorism

In the urban landscape, according to the Burgess Model, the transition zone is outside the CBD and takes advantage of  labor for industrial activities. Areas outside the CBD in P.O.S are areas such as Sea Lots and Laventille.

Looking for graffiti throughout P.O.S many political complaints where plastered on walls, but due to the crime rate in the areas these writings were on it was a too risky to go in. However, in  a political sense, many marginalized communities surrounding the CBD in Trinidad often use public walls to use writing on walls as a form of protest.
