Posters glorifying Bondi terrorist plastered across Melbourne CBD
The posters display the face of Naveed Akram and deliberately mimic the visual style of the "Aussie" street art series created by artist Peter Drew
Around 40 posters featuring the image of one of the Bondi Beach terrorists have been plastered across Melbourne’s CBD in what the Anti-Defamation Commission has called “psychological terrorism”.
The posters display the face of Naveed Akram and deliberately mimic the visual style of the “Aussie” street art series created by artist Peter Drew, appropriating the visual language of inclusive Australian identity to glorify a perpetrator of antisemitic mass murder.
The posters were unlawfully plastered on public infrastructure around the CBD.
Anti-Defamation Commission chair Dr Dvir Abramovich condemned the posters in strong terms.
“This is not street art. This is grave-dancing. Putting the face of a Bondi terrorist on city walls is psychological terrorism aimed at families who are still burying their dead,” Abramovich said.
