The idea is to 'listen' to the graffiti talk around us (on our walls, doors, desks, chairs, floors, T-shirts, schoolbags, etc.), and to record and share interesting finds. If other interested teachers and students respond by posting photos and related info, this could turn into a nice project of the wall/s/talking in our schools, streets, towns, countries, world. Sketches, squiggles, doodles and other more sophisticated street art around us is the part of public spaces usually walked by, unnoticed by most people. See http://wallstalking.org/Home.mvc/About http://www.flickr.com/groups/wallstalking/ and http://listentothewalls.pbworks.com/. For more info, contact Sasa in Slovenia <
