The 'Peasant' Culture of Brisbane




A few months back shiftazine ran an article looking at murals and how it takes some bravery to create one. 
The Barracks in Brisbane Australia, boosts a bar called Peasant that has murals over all the walls and ceiling. 
The murals were created by a well known local graffiti artist, who while painting these beautiful murals 
jokingly commented that prior to the Barracks' reinvention from a derelict government building to a groovy shopping and dining precinct, 
he use to break into the building to create his graffiti on the very same walls. 
Now the bars in the precinct pay him to create this beautiful art. Just love a touch of irony.
