Peep this new poster by Broken Fingaz, one of the first graffiti crews formed in Israel. The crew is now located in Haifa, with its members also working in other fields such as graphic design, plush toy creation, and t-shirt design, and the crew even has its own graffiti shop and gallery. They also have very strong feelings, understandably, about the current state of affairs in their home country.“This is a new poster we just made, reflecting our feelings about the not so happy New Year here in Israel,” they wrote us. “We don't normally mess with politics but things are kinda shitty here right now. […] More then 1,000 people died in 20 days.”
Although somewhat solemn, this is a necessary and timely reminder of the ongoing violence still ripping through the Middle East, and particularly in Israel right now. If you’re heads not in the news about the conflict in Gaza, learn about the fighting going on between Israel and Hamas militants ( knowledge). In any case, this collaboration was made by Tant, Kip and Unga of Broken Fingaz and it's dope because is sends a powerful message, definitely reminds me of Akira imagery.
