Controversy Surrounding Neapolitan Street Artist Jorit's Political Stance and Vandalized Mural

The huge controversy that has seen the Neapolitan street artist Jorit as a protagonist has obviously focused attention on his work and, above all, on his political ideas. After this morning his mural for the War in Palestine in Ischia was vandalized, the artist used Instagram to clarify his ambiguous political positions and respond to the criticisms received in the last hour both on social media and from the political spectrum. After an initial story published in the morning where he continued to affirm the need to open a dialogue with Russia and look at the issue from a different point of view, Jorit published a further story in which he responded to some provocations regarding his collaborations with institutions. 'You say that institutions don't 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 decaying state 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.
