  Opportunity for street art

  The news story is both an interview with a street artist in New York and an exploration of how street art has taken off in New York as a result of the pandemic. The artist and the article report that many businesses have boarded up their windows and vacated, leaving a lot of unattended public space for artists to occupy, especially for illegal graffiti. Not everyone supports the increase in graffiti and street art, as other residents complain about the graffiti-related crime and vandalism.

  Worldwide pandemic street art

  USA Today, like many other media outlets, uses their platform to share images of street art that conveys community messages about COVID-19. Photographs range from March 2020 to January 2021 and include graffiti tagging, murals, paste-ups, and stencils. Many styles of art are represented and can be telling of how artists represent emotions of fear, solidarity, hope, thanks, and humor during the pandemic. Several of the contributions are put on boards covering windows of businesses that shut down during the pandemic, others are on hospital buildings, streets, and businesses.

  被災地でコロナの落書き　29歳男「ただのいたずら」(2020年10月6日) - Corona graffiti in the disaster area, 29-year-old man "just a prank" (October 6, 2020)

  This is a news on how someone spray painted a graffiti of image of a logo like COVID-19 in a shopping area that is open for the symbolization of recovery from 3/11/2011 earthquake. The reason of why he did this is unknown. 東日本大震災で被災した商店が集まる宮城県の商店街で新型コロナウイルスとみられる落書きをしたとして29歳の男が逮捕されました。 　一瞬、カメラの方を向くもすぐに視線を外し、車に乗り込む容疑者。建造物損壊と器物損壊の疑いで逮捕・送検された宮城県登米市の会社員・阿部大和容疑者（29）です。東日本大震災で被災した商店が集まる「南三陸さんさん商店街」。復興に向けて歩みを進める商店街で落書きが見つかったのは今年8月のことでした。阿部容疑者は8月28日午前0時ごろ、南三陸さんさん商店街で店やトイレの壁など9カ所に黒色のスプレーで落書きをした疑いが持たれています。このうち7カ所には新型コロナウイルスとみられるイラストなどが描かれていました。さんさん商店街では訪れた人が不快な思いをしないように落書きをポスターなどで隠していました。 　容疑者逮捕のきっかけは商店街に設置された防犯カメラ。警察が映像を解析するなどして調べたところ、阿部容疑者が浮上したということです。阿部容疑者は容疑を認めているということです。 A 29-year-old man was arrested for scribbling what appears to be the “new coronavirus” in a shopping district in Miyagi prefecture, where the shops were affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake gather. A suspect who turned to the camera for a moment but immediately took his eyes off and got into the car. Yamato Abe (29), an office worker in Tome City, Miyagi Prefecture, was arrested and sent on suspicion of damage to buildings and property. "Minamisanriku-san (Sansan) Shopping Street" is a collection of shops damaged by the Great East Japan Earthquake. It was in August of this year that graffiti was found in a shopping district that is moving toward reconstruction. Abe is suspected of having scribbled with black spray on nine places such as the walls of shops and toilets in the Minamisanriku-san shopping district around midnight on August 28th. Illustrations that appear to be the new coronavirus were drawn in seven of these locations. At Sansan Shopping Street, graffiti was hidden with posters so that visitors would not feel uncomfortable. The evidence for the arrest of the suspect was a security camera installed in the shopping district. When the police analyzed the video and investigated it, Abe was found to have been in the area. Abe admits the charges.

  A Tutti Voi...Grazie

  this is a photograph of a mural on a hospital wall in Brescia, Italy where it translates to “To you all….Thanks.” It is another piece of art that reminds us that we are all in this together and to thank our healthcare workers. I think as time goes on we tend to get sick of hearing about the pandemic and Covid-19 and go about our daily lives. We as a society often times need reminders and I think art provides that in an appealing and beautiful way. A giant graffiti depicting medical staff holding a figure shaped as a boot representing Italy and reading " To you all… Thanks", is painted on a side of the Brescia hospital, Italy, Monday, March 16, 2020.

  Virus Hoax

  On my walk I noticed the words, "virus hoax" written across the bike trail and on utility boxes. I wonder if they really think that the virus is a hoax?
