Saturday reading: on street art in Beijing

My Saturday so far has mostly been spent catching up on my neglected Google Reader subscriptions, Twitter favourites and more. It’s been good taking the time reading about so many different things happening around the world, ranging from:

• Indian urbanisation
• the function of Japanese national security discussions in national politics
• creative projects in Rotterdam: de Luchtsingel & RDM Innovation Dock
• adding some fun design to my Pinterest board

But the thing that has stuck with me most and that I’d like to highlight here especially is an article I found through UrbaChina, on the evolution of street art in China, focusing on Beijing. Interesting to read on something that has always been part of urban culture here, but which is still a very small movement in China. But growing. I would love to see the documentary about it as well, hopefully it’ll find its way to one of the (Asian) film- or documentary festivals here.
