Does your nose get out of joint when you see some grafitti?
Mine sure does!
....when I see ugly graffitti
marring the beauty of my adopted paradise!
Now, I will be the very first to admit
some street art can be "distinguished", if not "beautiful" LOL

But, come on now,
How is this anything but a desecration of civility
and the collapse of civilization?

that, in preparation for the workshop that @aumsong gave
in Corinth, a couple of weeks ago now, called
Open to your Bliss
https://steemit.com/opentoyourbliss/@aumsong/open-to-your-bliss
We cleaned, landscaped, and painted this building
to hold the event (until we found an even better space).
What do you think of our efforts?
In the incredibly interesting and beautiful
Plaka district of Athens, below the Acropolis
Even the "parking lots" LOL
have been marred by graffitti!
Here is one of the heros
helping us to turn this:

A big round of applause for this gentleman please!

Do you think that our ancestors had to deal with graffitti before the barbarian invasions?

Thank you kindly
Fun fact: The gentleman in the last photo who did all the cleaning and @onceuponatime fairly requests an applause for him (fair play, mate) is one of the nicest and most hard-working man one can ever meet!!!
Humble, respectful, good Christian, he's a Pontic-Greek who was born and raised in then USSR. He may not look it now (he's 57 now) but believe me when I say he's an ULTIMATE BADASS!!!
Served for 6 years in the Soviet Navy and spent 4 of them in the submarines many, many levels underwater. He was also a HELL OF A FIGHTER with 12 years of competitive amateur boxing on his shoulders. When he moved in Corinth back in 1998, I was a State and National High-School champ in Pankration and an absolute fighting demon/machine. When he mentioned his amateur boxing career, of course I challenged him in a friendly sparring in his backyard (he lives opposite my mom's house). My intention was to show off (an arrogant kid I was) of course and we agreed to do an only hands/boxing sparring. I am not saying I lost because I didn't really, but my ribs are still hurting to this day. The man had hands of stone and an INCREDIBLE technique and speed, despite being a humble lightweight dude. His name is Christoforos named after Jesus. A truly GOOD man!!!
Great post @onceuponatime and I agree, the whole "graffiti" in Greece is GROSS!!! AWESOME job with this building

It just takes one person with a great idea, then others will follow.
I believe that there are many people who want to do good things for their community, however they may be shy or a little intimidated. We always worry about what people think if we do this or that 🤔

The meaning of civilization is something personal. To manifest socially it would be good for everyone to understand the reason of his existence. So in order to have a culture again, we must first look ourselves individually and do not block the different roads that each one has to get there. It's a beautiful game as long as we focus on light and not into the dark.

Χίλια μπράβο! A thousand bravos for all your effort!
Barbarians will always be barbarians, but is our duty as members of this society to try educate and make people care about things other than themselves.
Oh! And just like you said, there are ugly grafittis, but there are real works of art. I spent my univerisity years in Thessaloniki and next to the ugliness and pure wish for destruction (driven by rage and disapointment) you could see quality paintings that actually turned old, deserted buildings into beautiful canvases and run down neighbourhoods into street galleries. Too bad I don't have any photos to show you...

Probably one way of judging whether it is art or desecration is if the person who puts it there has the blessings of the owner of and/or community around the site. This would be a first prerequisite IMHO.

I would agree on that, but: the final outcome could still be real art despite the "artist" having asked for permission or just took the initiative and "created" on someone else's property. What if Picasso (or any other established artist) was a graffiti artist and filled the streets with murals at will? Wouldn't his creations still be art?
What I am trying to say is that we should be trying to cultivate respect and good manners. It is an indication of how educated people are. A talent is wasted if the artist acts like an animal within the society they belong to.
I just remembered this mural by @romanie, street mural, Ibiza 2016
And this is just an example of the graffitis in Thessaloniki (I found the photo on the internet, but I have walked past this building and it is very beautiful):

Your distorted picture could be an excellent model for Salvador Dali! Of course, I agree with you in denouncing this kind of art, street art that does not take into account what it destroys (the support of the drawing). I can show that there is an alternative. I am a friend of a young artist who also makes graffiti: like a picture or on the subway in Bucharest (with the approval of the authorities)

The permission of the site owner is the first prerequisite for it to be "art" in my opinion. And yes, I have seen much street art that is incredibly beautiful. But that is not what I am talking about in this post. The barbarians in some of the towns around here are even spray painting on windows.

The question one needs to ask is...
How would you feel & what would you do if your home or car was selected during the night and defaced or marked without your permission?
Would this not be considered a crime? ... a collapse of our civilization as @onceuponatime clearly indicates.
Would you like that? Is this the type of world we wish to live in?
Hats off to @onceuponatime & the "heroes" (including Christoforos) who remind us all that actions speak louder than words!

They potentially only dealt with graffiti before the invasions. Because the barbarians shouldn’t have been able to write....? But graffiti could simply be someone writing their name somewhere as opposed to a mural-like graphic defacing a wall.

Some of the current barbarians merely spray paint gang signs to desecrate the scenery. I am sure ancient barbarians were equally capable of such barbarity (using mud or shit or charcoal or something in lieu of spray paint).

You did a great job! Some graffiti really does look bad it is considered an act of vandalism in my country. And even imprisonment or a large fine can be a punishment for graffiti. But there are also stunning graffiti real works of art. Graffiti that add sophistication to the style and special charm of the city. But this is the exception rather than the rule. Most graffiti is simply absurd, obscene words, curses. In Russia where I live you can often see the writing "ХУЙ" (that means male gender body) I not understand sense this stupidity. In my opinion this is vandalism and idiocy.

To your question- "Do you think that our ancestors had to deal with graffitti before the barbarian invasions?"
Of course yes ! Cave paintings are the earliest graffiti :) . Graffiti are social reportage "in your face".
And that parking lot ! It blew me ! It is like the parking video game !!!! Stuck & Lost !

I don't agree. Cave paintings were the culture of the time, not a desecration of culture.
Grafiitti is scrawling your gang sign on the Mona Lisa. It is barbaric, ugly, disrespectful, futile, and leads nowhere but to further degradation of the society.
Can we turn things around?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Yes, in this sense graffiti is direspectful and ugly as compared to cave paintings.
However, I was primarily talking about graffiti and cave paintings , both expressing the social sentiment of their respective times.
We are living in a social atmosphere of disrespect, chaos , crime, distortion and ugliness. Graffiti of today reflects the same.
Perhaps we can turn things around. But for things to turn around, first a cycle needs to end. The dilapidated tower needs to collapse before a new tower can come up.
We are living the tower moment as they say in Tarot.
And we do have beautifully structured street art.
This reflects that b attempt to restore the society is definitely underway .
Let us do our bit and have faith, @onceuponatime .

It is a shame but white or light paints on building sometimes people interpret as an invitation "to come and draw something" using graffiti like in western countries or coal there is nothing else. It is like a canvas for artists.
In my home city there was a building that had a big light colored wall without windows and almost every week it was a horrible graffiti work was left, so the owners painted it every week. One day they decided to ask a well know among graffiti users artist to do a nice work of him on that wall, of course he left his signature under and it was really a great artistic work. You can't that wall never was spoiled again.
So that might be a decision for such buildings too.
That is a great job you, guys have done, before and after photos are really impressive. We need to involve more people in such projects.
I believe that in the past our ancestor also had to deal with such naughty young people who liked to leave their traces on walls. This is just very human.

lol.. I had to laugh when scrolling to the second image:-)
You're right, 95% of all graffiti is garbage. But sometimes you can actually find a marble in between. They should tax spray paint more.

Good job to the gentleman, who did that. It's not cool to draw random graffiti on the walls where people just try to live and enjoy their lives (If only it's a fantastic drawing).
That face, when you see an ugly graffiti, lol.

That graffiti was looking awful, I like the way the building looks after the clean up.Graffiti rarely looks good unless it is done in an organised manner by an experienced artist. Seems like you guys had a nice meet-up :)

I think it is always possible to be better every day and have a more beautiful environment. I am fortunate to live at the foot of a mountain and surrounded by trees, squirrels, birds, butterflies, spiders, lizards, centipedes, snails, ... a great biodiversity in my patio ha ha
A spectacular climate where we grow all year round. We have cocoa, mango, lemon, pineapple, sarrapia, avocado plants ...

There are murals and street art, and then there is tagging and graffiti. One could be considered art, the other is more ego. 'Here I am. You can't stop me.' It is along with robbery and vandalism, among the uglier disregards for property or ownership.
I know some kids just don't learn that even if something looks abandoned or worthless, that's not their right to tag it. Less if it's functioning and either someone's home, business, church or school.
Sadly, graffiti is universal. Wherever there's youth and not so young people who don't respect property or for whatever reason feel they need to be known or heard, you will find graffiti. And, generally, you will also find those who are willing to give of their time, their talents and their resources to help clean it up.
So, not saying graffiti is a good thing—it's not—but ultimately good things can happen because good people choose to do it. And if the taggers reforms along the way, even better. :)

RESTEEM
Dear @onceuponatime
You have done a noble task, I very much appreciate this noble work and reward in your community and all other environmental lover community.
Let's clean living, it doesn't mean we don't like art, but there is a place of creative people not litter the environment with a streak of wall.
The cleanliness of the environment has a very important role and inseparable in the life of a human being. Keep the environment clean same means creating a healthy environment, free of impurities, such as dust, sampahdan smell unpleasant. With a healthy environment, we will not be susceptible to various diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, vomiting and others. Not only in the field of health, the environmental hygiene is also very influential towards the comfort, beauty and atmosphere environment which later comes down to peace. All this can be achieved by doing the deed is small and simple, ranging from maintaining the cleanliness of the environment around us. However,
Eradicate the bad habit of disposing of garbage is not as easy to reverse the Palm of the hand or by way of seminars each day. In other words the same difficulty with anti-corruption from our country or remove prostitution from the environment in which we live. It could all be prevented from within ourselves from from an early age. What if we've grown up and already has a bad habit? Then there is such thing as self awareness. Without it, then it is impossible to save the Earth from destruction.
Imagine, that the creators of the biggest pollutants is not a student, was not the mother-homemaker, but businessmen who have factories, industries, wineries, mines involving many parties from the start of local government the local owner of the company itself, its employees and workers, as well as the people who live around that location.
Thanks for this @onceupinatime
hope you are healthy always. I would like to ask your opinion about
Seen from so many cases of violence on children, in which the State functions that protect their citizens??
