saw it on the wall


A couple of weird items of graffiti in south Tel Aviv. This one is on a wall in Neve Sha’anan, on Chelnow Street: if you go here early in the morning you will see lots of foreign workers and refugees waiting (hoping) to be picked up for a day’s work, I guess mostly on construction sites. Anyway this notice is written in Hebrew, English and what I think is Sudanese Arabic (yes, I’m a languages nerd), which would make sense since there are lots of people from Sudan here.

This is on a wall in the ‘garment district’ area of Florentin, a network of small streets lined with small wholesale garment shops owned by Jewish and Arab businesspeople, utterly crowded on weekdays and empty on from Friday lunchtime until Sunday morning.

surrealist supermodels on salomeh street

Tel Aviv’s Salomeh street is where you go to buy mannequins. There are lots of shops selling mannequins and many of them have created their own surreal displays. Check some of them out.
