    You’ve seen it everywhere – on the side of trains, on residential walls, on the back of billboards and road signs.

    We’re talking about grafitti, which has always showcased voices, protests, celebrations and creativity.

    Grafitti art in South Africa remains a contentious topic. A couple of years ago the DA vowed to rub out graffiti artists in Cape Town – a plan that clearly didn’t work.

    And a good thing too, because nothing captures the soul of a city like its street artists.

    Footnotes in the City documents a number of prominent South African art critics and graffiti artists, their craft and its history. It’s also the first time in over 15 years that the elusive Fiyaone is caught on camera.

    The write-up:

    Follow brothers Mook Lion and Samora Chapman as they explore the struggling street art and graffiti scenes in Durban, South Africa – talking to some of the colourful characters that run the underground and questioning the relevance of the art form in this vibrant African metropolis.

    They’ve uploaded the full doccie to YouTube, so sit back and enjoy:
