The Art of Defiance: Graffiti on Melbourne's Princess Bridge The Princess Bridge in Melbourne has been the site of many public spectacles, but none have sparked as much debate as the recent graffiti attack by an unidentified artist.
The act of defacing this major thoroughfare has raised questions about the limits of artistic expression and the role of authorities in policing public spaces.
The vandal chose to spray paint a symbol closely associated with Melbourne's cultural identity: Pam the Bird, the iconic mascot from the city's comedy festival.
