Spanish artist Okuda San Miguel was invited to do a mural in downtown Edmonton and ends up getting shit on by the culture police.
"The mural is inspirational, she said, and may spur further acceptance of art using spray paint in the city.
But, she added, "His words are problematic."
For San Miguel to say he was inspired by Indigenous artworks was a step over the line.
"The fact that we have somebody who is rather a tourist come and want to make Aboriginal art is rather irresponsible," she said. "As a cultural tourist, not spending time with Indigenous people does lack of some sincerity."
"It's important for the artist to talk to the people of this territory to see if they have the right to do the work or if there are any problems with the work."
'Cultural tourist': How a renowned street artist's 'Indigenous inspiration' fell flat
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/e…- Doesn't look any different to what he normally paints.PhanLo
- ^ yup, he's just getting flack for just saying he had inspiration (animal spirit). it was probably just a throw-away comment, anywayGnash
- the cultural appropriation thing has created a toxic landscape in the canadian art and lit sceneGnash
- So much street art is inspired by folk tales, it definitely seemed a throwaway comment. I remember the Os Gemeos painted a castle in Ayr and drew some ScottishPhanLo
- ...folk tale characters, but folk were really into them. No cultural appropriation mentioned. :-)PhanLo
- Amazing budget for the wall though.PhanLo
- ^ yes, so great that they were able to raise the funds. Silly reaction put a bit of a damper on itGnash
- And I thought MuriKKKa owned dumb.utopian

here ya go, terry cloth .. i dont know why i am bothering engaging.. but still.. if you dont know who these people are, then perhaps you should educate yourself ..
- I know quest and lush, the rest of them are people who's work I have never seen outside of the internet. The internet ruined graffiti, cash in while it laststerry_cloth
- All things come full circleterry_cloth
- autocorrect, you know who i meant thoughterry_cloth
- internet didnt ruin anything.. it just meant more people can see shit. by that rational magazines ruined it, or martha cooper ruined it..autoflavour
- it did ruin it, you wouldn't understand. has someone who isn't you ever illegally painted? no, you are just a consumer and a wave rider, cashing in on the cultuterry_cloth
- culture, i donno about those euro kids but i can tell you that kwest didn't do his best work for fame or money, this stuff here is just for selling productsterry_cloth
- times have changed and some have cashed in, they aren't to blame, neither are you, it's the internets fault, it fucked up everythingterry_cloth
- benching a kwest freight used to mean something, but you probably don't know what benching even is do youterry_cloth
- by the way, the word you were looking for was rationaleterry_cloth
- 1) how is someone who has PRODUCED over 53 hours of content a CONSUMER. 2) When i got into graf, back when i was 15 in 1992 I was working illegally.autoflavour
- that was also the time when magazines like HYPE magazine in Australia was also sharing information, just like the internet.. only difference was you had to buyautoflavour
- it from recordstores (back before there was actual shops just for paint, and you racked it from hardware stores)autoflavour
- i am not claiming to be an old school head, first wave or anything. but I am by no means anyone who just came in a year ago and cashed in.. however that worksautoflavour
- still yet to see any work from you.. this is the last piece i did.. after a 10 year hiatus.. its legal, so i guess it doesnt count..
https://scontent-frt…...autoflavour - https://scontent-frt…autoflavour
- whatever.. this conversation is pointless. i know who i am.. if you dont like it, then yep.. sucks to be youautoflavour
- and no, benching i have never heard of it.. guess its a freight thing, which wasnt really a thing in Australia.. we just did metro lines.autoflavour
- yes, rationale is correct.
thank youautoflavour - hahaha, oh man, i'm done talking to you about this. my 6 year old nephew can draw letters that are better than that. cool fancy paint color shmear though broterry_cloth
- ahahah, you are a trip, that's what you have come up with in 24 years? c'mon son, this is a passing phase for you, you are a culture vulture who has never doneterry_cloth
- shit and now you ride coat tails and think you know something about something because you have socialized with some people who have actually put in the timeterry_cloth
- i take back what i said earlier, people like you are indeed what is wrong with graffiti, it's still the internets fault though. sorry to be harsh but go hit theterry_cloth
- books with your toy ass and stick to black and white until told otherwise. college ruled composition books is all you deserve, not some fancy art book neitherterry_cloth
- No.autoflavour
- Bro, I realize I am coming off like an asshole but you need to hear it from someone who isn't using you for free exposure. If you are really about street art orterry_cloth
- and no. and yep, you keep hiding there, talking about some writer who you would show work from, nor show any work of your own.. nice work tho.autoflavour
- Graf or w/e then move silently and move solo, this isn't a team sport or a social event, stick to the books and hone your craft, anything else is nut rider artterry_cloth
- what is wrong with graffiti is people who keep thinking there is something wrong with graffiti..autoflavour
- purist hater bullshit.autoflavour
- but yep, you are arguing about graffiti, in a street art thread on a design forum.. so you must be winning.. kudos.autoflavour
- shame you cant bring yourself to use your real account, so at least i know to avoid your shite elsewhere.autoflavour
- Scene shenanigans and is about nothing other than generating hype for profit. You day you aren't making any money, yea, that's cause you can't paint for shitterry_cloth
- You can suck every famous writer in the world's dick it won't make you any better at basic letter structure. Social media is a disease to Graff, one that you arterry_cloth
- also using us for free exposure? its a complete ball ache sometimes to get these fuckers to agree to an interview.. you have no idea. about anything.autoflavour
- Are shamelessly feeding. Knock it off or be honest about the fact that you know nothing about that life and are just a fanboyterry_cloth
- im not claiming to be a writer, i produce a podcast with a friend of mine where we interview artists we know and others we dont. that is all. the last 24 yearsautoflavour
- is just my life.. not this bullshit argument.autoflavour
- watch and listen to the lush video.. he says more in 30 seconds about this than this entire argument.autoflavour
- OK I guess you are unfamiliar with how the acronym swim works. Ima make it a little clearer for you. I personally have done jail time for graffiti and have realterry_cloth
- this argument is retarded. you are connecting that my painting is shit to us not making any money? we dont make money because we dont tryautoflavour
- -ly lived the shit you pretend to be about. It is illegal, and I am not going to post it onlineterry_cloth
- we do it just to talk with people. hear their story.. drink a beer and be done. its called media production.autoflavour
- This has gotten out of hand. Sorry to have upset you. You are a fanboy and that is fine, keep up with the fanboy shit bro, your site looks goodterry_cloth
- you are kind of missing the point here.. we have produced 53 shows, 7 of which are with graf writers.. the rest are muralists and street artists.autoflavour
- and I am the producer, the host, is a muralist. its all legal.. its not graffiti..autoflavour
- In the future I urge you to not mouth off like you know about the lifestyle based on having socialized with a couple of people, that just isn't you my manterry_cloth
- Be humble, you are a guest in this Graff shit. Ooooor go hit the books and progress that shit you do past a third grade level before you go around spouting bullterry_cloth
- Shit cause you might just be talking to somebody who is really about itterry_cloth
- i get it, you are a hardcore purist. but you are in a thread for street art, talking to someone who interviews street artists.autoflavour
- what are you even doing on a design forum? in a street art thread?autoflavour
- And yea, you are fuckin right it's not graffiti, that was my original comment that got you so hot and bothered. It's cool though, you have since admitted to beiterry_cloth
- Being a fanboy. That's cool bro, don't go around fronting like you live this shit bro, you are nothing more than an art fanboy and there's nothing wrong with tjterry_cloth
- *that, just be real and be humble cause you came on pretty strong there for someone who hasn't really done shit but socialize and edit some videoterry_cloth
- im not even a guest in this graf shit as you put it.. i am a producer. producing a podcast.autoflavour
- you are the only one here spouting bullshit.. you have dont nothing but attack the entire time. and for what.. you are so hardcore you cant even show work.autoflavour
- i believe you.. i believe everything you have said.. dont get me wrong.. i cant tell, i have known enough writers and had this argument beforeautoflavour
- but read back over the comments.. look at what i have said.. i never went to jail, i stopped writing when it meant i could. that makes weak pussy i know.autoflavour
- but i just shifted into making music and buying drum machines. im not street, im not hard. i never claimed i was.autoflavour
- but seriously tho.. i got asked by a muralist i know if i wanted to do a show.. i have the skills, he has the technical painting knowledge..autoflavour
- skills to produce the podcast, run the site etc.. painting for me was just some fucking around with my brother in law in summer after years of him pestering meautoflavour
- I didn't call you a pussy, don't be melodramatic. I said where are the letters cause I didn't see any fucking Graff as advertised and you told me to suck a dickterry_cloth
- Pump the brakes there skipper, you need to release some of the gas out of that headterry_cloth
- yeah, i shouldnt have told you suck a dick..autoflavour
- i say graf because the writers we have had are reasonably well respected.. hell, Nychos is in Lords crew ffs.autoflavour
- and 1UP, anyone who can do a whole car, in station, with passengers on board counts in my book..
https://www.youtube.…autoflavour - look, i hate having beef with people on the internet.. its too easy to be a dick. i just reread it all, and i can totally see how you would have read it.autoflavour
- and i know you didnt call me a pussy, but yep, i totally did stop writing once the consequences got serious. a few friends didnt. last time i saw one of themautoflavour
- they were homeless with a heroin addiction, the other i know was doing 5-7 years for robbery. i knew the path, i didnt followautoflavour
- a lot of the people we interview are kind of the same, got out when it got hot. but even fortress, he had his place raided like 6 months ago.. and he has a babyautoflavour
- we cool?autoflavour
- Of course we're cool babe, if there was a personal problem I would most likely have gone and got myself banned over it lol. Keep doing what you doterry_cloth
