More than forty years have passed since the death of the leader of the American movement for black rights Martin Luther King, but many of his views, many of his speeches are still very relevant, are still quoted by fighters against injustice. The proof of this is the work of the artist Olekthat tied from yarn quote from the famous speech of the pastor.
The American artist of Polish origin Agata Olek became known all over the world thanks to her amazing works, in which she uses the skill of hand knitting, seemingly forgotten in our time. Moreover, with his help, she creates absolutely incredible works, for example, a giant crocodile or a whole room knitted of yarn. And Olek's new work is generally … graffiti!
Work with the name Injustice appeared recently on one of the streets of London. And these knitted graffiti are dedicated to the fight against slavery. Indeed, even in the twenty-first century, tens of millions of people around the world are limited in their freedom (both physical and economic).
Knitted graffiti by Agatha Olek are several canvases that depict a quote from a famous speech by Martin Luther King, delivered in Alabama in 1963.
“No matter where injustice occurs, it threatens justice throughout the world” (“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere”) - Agatha Olek tied so that people would once again think about this great phrase.
Olek's Injustice is just one of many works by famous and little-known artists on display on the streets of London as part of a project dedicated to contemporary slavery.
