When French graffiti artists Martin Dezer, Julien MIgwel and Ken Keflione came to Mumbai in March 2008, it quickly became one of their favourite places to paint.

They were surprised by the open mindedness of the people and the enthusiasm toward an art form that is scorned at by many in the west as 'defacing property'.

While planning their next trip, they had decided to paint a tribute to Bollywood. But 26\11 changed it all. Now in Delhi, the artists want to do a piece in memory of those who lost their lives in the terror attacks.

"We need to find a wall in Delhi. We had gone to Mumbai earlier and so it felt really strange hearing what happened there. We want to do something in memory of those who died," says Dezer.

The trio is in Delhi as a part of the 60th anniversary celebrations of The Human Rights Declaration being organised by Alliance France.

Graffiti is the perfect choice of art for the anniversary celebrations,as it is recognized as a medium yo exercise one of man's fundamental rights, the right to free speech and expression.

Dezer, the eldest member in the group says,"Graffiti is an invented art. It first began in New York neighborhoods, in a society full of violence and repression. So youngsters just found out this new way of expression,taking from what they saw around them." Dezer who had been graffiteing for the past fifteen years began by painting subways and trains. Now he looks back at it as plain foolhardiness.
