Thing #14 that I love about Geneva - Wild Postering

One of the things that I really love in Geneva is seeing the different creative graffiti and the affichage sauvage or "wild postering".

You get a good mix of stuff: calls to the right to affordable housing, manifestos of gutter punks and travellers, interesting artwork, and then you get some which like my current favourite posted here, are political statements meet art.

The sign says its all "need food not football". It has a bit more context if you live here in Geneva which over the summer was one of the hosting cities for the European Cup, but still on its own, it gets its point across profoundly.
