On this episode of Shtetl find out how an Orthodox Jew, Zrey Li, was inspired by other-worldly signs (and a Banksy documentary) to do street art.
Aside from his tsit-tsit (white ritual strings hanging near his pockets) and his extensive experience as a scribe of sacred Jewish texts, Zrey Li‘s like any other street artist out there. He’s passionate about painting, graffiti, and…the number seven.
Tune in and find out how “the holy one blessed be (s)he” spoke to Zrey Li (pictured center above) through a chance encounter with a license plate on the streets of Montreal.
And in other street art news, we talk with Montreal-based, Israeli-born Adida Fallen Angel about his most recent epic installation/oceanic library Water Surrounds Me at The Fresh Paint Gallery in Montreal.
