Sometimes the juxtaposition of image and text can create an interesting new image:

The art work captures a common public sentiment about politics. It expresses a desire and hope for change. It is a different kind of politcal art to what KeZ Majkut is exploring with is neu konzervativ.
I've been searching for photographers in Adelaide who are interested in street culture and who have weblogs, galleries or websites. Facebook turned up very little. I did come across (sigh)mon via Flickr: Church on Fire and then the world of Mays, which, alas is in Sydney.
Another kind of political art:
Gary Sauer-Thompson, Dog, Caledonian Lane, Melbourne, 2007
I doubt if there are any re any public legal graffiti areas/walls in Adelaide. The Adelaide City Council still sees graffiti street art as vandalism of private property.
