NewzTyler Kennedy Stent, the artist behind the 2018 Ed Sheeran mural located in a Dunedin laneway, has publicly requested that the Dunedin City Council refrain from removing “Free Palestine” graffiti recently added to the site. Stent expressed support for the political message, describing the addition as a welcome contribution to the space.
The request follows the appearance of the tagging on the mural, which has become a point of local discussion.
