#Notacrime Campaign: A Collection of Street Art (Part 3)

With the recent premiere of Changing the World, One Wall at a Time, a documentary that details the world’s largest street art campaign, we thought we’d share more images of some of the amazing murals that adorn different corners of the world. This street art for education equality campaign, titled Education is Not a Crime, or #Notacrime, aims to raise awareness of the persecution of the Baha’is in Iran, and in particular, their denial to access forms of higher education. 

#Notacrime is an initiative of Maziar Bahari, an Iranian Canadian journalist, filmmaker and human rights activist, who although not a Baha’i himself, feels that the persecution of the Baha’is in Iran (Iran’s largest religious minority) is emblematic of many of the problems the country faces. You can read our interview with Maziar about Changing the World, One Wall at a Time here, or listen to his conversation with Rainn Wilson on our blogcast.

You can also take a look at our two other galleries of #Notacrime street art: here is the link to Part 1 and here is the link to Part 2.

For more information about #Notacrime, check out their website or you can follow them on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.
