Graffiti is Art!
The Everchanging Art of Mdantsane!

| Art is perishable in Mdantsane |
In Mdantsane we find a phenomena, a natural phenomena, that artists in Europe try to achieve intentionally. Perishable art, art that vanishes and art that dissolves or is destroyed again. In the west installations are set up with great effort in public spaces or in nature, only to be taken over by natural forces or to be destroyed deliberately. The process of destruction is watched by many. It is a process, that shows that art is perishable, a creation of the mind and as such it represents the state of the mind at a given point.

| Art is ever changing in Mdantsane |
We have come to this place several times, a deserted trading complex in N.U 5 that is merely a ruin now. Each time the graffiti and art on the walls have changed. I can not deny that sometimes this has left me in an emotional state - because I came back to see a certain painting but instead I found another one.

| Art is loud.....to be heard |
Not a second do we think that these walls have been vandalised. They have been beautified.
Art is Ever Changing in Mdantsane and it is public.
Art is verbal and loud in Mdantsane
