(Or ‘Make friends, have babies’?) We met at a park with our first babies and the fact that our children all play well together has since crossed over to being a happy bonus because the basis of our friendship is now very much her and I. So yeah, we meet at wine bars and leave [...]

Image from here. I have almost no idea what Princess Hijab, a Parisian graffiti artist is saying in much of her interview here. I don’t know a lot of art-speak but I get that this isn’t about the burqa ban in France. I like her concept though. Someone close to me is a graffiti artist [...]
