"The Girl Effect" Street Art

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

On Sunday, Brick Lane and the surrounding area will host "The Girl Effect" (http://www.girleffectlive.com) to celebrate women. I captured the Village Underground mural, which I saw in progress earlier in the week. This mural displays "The Power of Girl" in bright colours. As my previous post stated, there is so much going on in London this weekend with Whitecross Street Festival taking place today and tomorrow and "The Girl Effect" taking place tomorrow. Both feature street art, festivals, and music. (JessieJ will be performing at "The Girl Effect".)

Unfortunately, I am not going to make it over to London this weekend to take part in the festivals or in any other events taking place at the weekend. (I need a break and commuting to east London every day for the past twenty months has worn me out and I have been feeling particularly exhausted recently.) However, check back for photographs of the aftermath as I will be snapping photographs of any new street art come Monday morning!

Just before "The Girl Effect" mural on the Village Underground was a mural by Woozy, a Greek street artist whose real name is Vaggelis Hoursoglou.

The work did not last very long, and the work was left in an unfinished state. Anyhow, I have photographed this and a couple of other pieces in east London, and I also included one in the previous entry 'Meeting of Styles' London Street Art Festival 2014. One of the pieces (the last one above) below depicts the Athens Riots a few years ago.
