Protest graffiti to be kept at UQAM

The graffiti left behind from last spring’s student movement at UQAM may be there to stay.

According to CBC News, the  university is considering the possibility of keeping the different tags that were scribbled  all over their walls.

Students at UQAM want the walls to remain as they are because they don’t see it as graffiti but a statement.

UQAM spokeswoman Jenny Desrochers said that the community is divided over preservation or cleaning over the drawings on corridor walls.

There are only ten corridors in 30 university buildings that were painted over during the “printemps erable” protests.
