Today's street art post relates to a political and social cause. Majid Adin is an animator and artist who was a refugee from Iran. He got into trouble with the Iranian government for comments on his blog. After escaping the country in a boat, he stayed over the winter in a refugee camp and faced tough times. To highlight the other struggles of refugees, he worked with Elton John. Recently, he painted street art on a large wall on Hanbury Street off Brick Lane, and the wall says "#ChooseLove".
Blinkink is a charity he created work for who help children in the "Calais Jungle" refugee camp, where the artist spent some time.
