I was walking around Penang’s Armenian Street when I chanced upon this graffiti. The mural was created by artists Jim Oo and John Cheng, collectively known as Penang I-Wall, back in 2014. The street art extends all the way to the concrete drain covers at the bottom, which used to feature speech bubbles of common daily life Hokkien phrases. But as you can see in my picture, most of those speech bubbles have faded away. The wrought-iron sculpture next to the mural is part of a series of wall sculptures called “Marking George Town”. Each wall sculptures narrates the history of the oldest roads in Georgetown.
