In the wake of the July 7, 2005, London bombings, Met police marksmen mistook Brazilian Jean Charles de Menezes for a terrorist and fatally shot him as he boarded an underground train at Stockwell station. More recently, in April, as U.S. President Barack Obama and other world leaders arrived in the city for a G-20 summit, news vendor Ian Tomlinson was making his way home...
Graffiti has since spread far beyond New York's boroughs, and its cross-fertilization with other art forms and traditions around the world is highlighted through original works by seminal street artists like Dutchman Boris Tellegen, who draws on his design background to create three-dimensional, industrial landscapes, and Brazilian Vitché, whose elaborate mural paintings evoke Indian and Aztec culture...
