The huge controversy involving the Neapolitan street artist Jorit has, of course, brought attention to his work and, above all, to his political ideas. After his mural for the War in Palestine in Ischia was vandalized this morning, the artist used Instagram to clarify his ambiguous political positions and respond to the criticism received in the last few hours both on social media and from the political spectrum. After an initial story published in the morning where he continued to assert the need to open a dialogue with Russia and look at the issue from a different perspective, Jorit posted a further story in which he responded to some provocations regarding his collaborations with institutions. ‘You say that institutions do not want to work with me?’ he wrote. ‘Perhaps it is not clear that it is I who do not want to work with institutions that do not leave me freedom (I have never worked with them),’ he continued. ‘But do we realize that Italy is a tiny state in decline in a huge world? The West is no longer the center of the world for a while now, neither in art nor in culture,’ he concluded.
