A kick in the teeth?

It’s easy to dismiss our youth as philistines. The older generation are quick to criticise modern music and art genres and often associate them with anti-social behaviour.

But whatever we think, our children will lead the world when we are gone and hopefully it will be a very different place than it is today.

On the face of it, a project in Inverness has broken the mould of what is art. Grafitti along the walls of Baron Taylor Street has probably prompted more scratched heads than stroked chins, but not only has it given young people a chance to express themselves, it has given them a piece of Inverness they can relate to, young people like art too, it doesn’t have to fit in the mould.

I say on the face of it, because it appears that once it has been inspected by the good people of Inverness, it is to be painted over as quickly as it was created.

As you were, kids.
