Review: Louder Than Words

Louder Than Words - Jill Posener
From 1986 this is a collection of mostly feminist and political street graffiti from australia and the uk.There is some humour but unlike the back of the book i dont think constant cries to kill men and castrate them to be “funny, uplifting and encouraging”. There is a good collection of billboard modification and even some vintage stencil art (which i have seen as early as 70s). There are quotes by writers of this style of graffiti possibly by someones mum from melbourne and sydney and london. Plenty of bicycle and vegan graffiti too if that floats your boat. Even though i get pissed of by threats to mutilate me it is still in interesting and usefulk historical document.
Ill post a picture later
heres the authors site with mention of at least one more such compilation from pandora press: http://www.jillposener.com/work.cfm
