Collective Shout in the News

We've rounded up some of the top media coverage of our campaign urging Melbourne's Yarra City Council to remove a gigantic fetish-porn themed street mural depicting a woman, bound and gagged. Since we launched the campaign, more than 1500 supporters contacted the Council.

The mural - painted on commission at a Cecil Street photography studio - was partly covered by a graffiti tag. The Council fined the property owner and/or occupant for displaying the mural without a permit. The Council is also reviewing its public art policies to prevent similar incidents.
