Description
East Ended explores the transformation of London's East End through the lens of street art. Once seen as a sign of decay, graffiti has become a symbol of the area's 'cool factor', attracting tourists and creative entrepreneurs.
The book delves into the tension between gentrification and the original artists who created the art that transformed public space. As property prices rise, the high cost of living forces out both the artists and local residents, leaving behind a complex landscape of poverty and inequality.
Yet, amidst the gentrification, there are signs of resistance - cheeky protest posters plastered over advertisements, reclaiming the walls for the voice of the streets. East Ended offers a nuanced portrayal of this urban landscape, revealing the intricate relationships between art, commerce, and community.
