Walls
They keep things out
or enclose them within. They're symbols of power, and a means of
control. They're canvases for art, backdrops for street theater, and
placards for political messages. They're just waiting for when nobody's
looking to receive graffiti. Walls of all kinds demarcate our lives.

A
section of a half-mile long concrete wall, six feet tall and a foot or
so thick, now covered with murals, built in the 1940s divides yards in
Detroit on March 28, 2013. The wall was built with a simple aim:
separate homes planned for middle-class whites from blacks who had
already built small houses or owned land with plans to build in the
neighborhood. It couldn't separate people on its own, people and
policies would see to that, but it was enough to satisfy the Federal
Housing Administration to approve and back loans. (Paul

Sarson's mural of Jesus breakdancing on the wall beside The Canteen is
reflected in a window on June 11, 2012 in Bristol, England. The artist
was commissioned by The Canteen to paint the wall, which is directly
opposite Banksy's Mild Mild West. The controversial 'Breakdancing Jesus'
was inspired by an actual event in the Vatican where breakdancers
performed to an applauding Pope John Paul II in 2004, is likely to be
the latest attraction for graffiti tourists visiting Bristol, often seen
as the spiritual home of underground artist Banksy. (Matt Cardy/Getty

Oppidans team huddle during the Eton Wall Game at Eton college in Eton
on November 17, 2012. Originating in 1766, the game is played on a
narrow strip 110 meters long up against a wall. The idea is to move the
ball along the wall with your feet and score a goal at the far end.
Goals are very rare, the last one scored was a hundred years ago in
1909. (Eddie Keogh/Reuters) #
