Once considered a form of vandalism, the authorities have come to appreciate the cultural contribution of street art. It provides access to art to those who don’t visit museums. The town hall in Jette has been graffitied by Alvarin, an artist from the Netherlands who spent time in New York before settling in Brussels. A child of the skateboard, hip-hop and DIY culture. Here the artist illustrates article 18, which advocates the most universal of human rights: freedom of thought, conscience and religion.
