    We will find the vandals that did this.

      No good deed goes unpunished.

    It kind of looks the opposite, like that ancient mosaic is being ruined by the asphalt.

    This is really cool.

    You’d need a rubbing of the shape or something so you could prep the tiles elsewhere right?

    You couldn’t just roll up with the tile cutter.

      You can attach the mosaic tiles to a removable mesh fabric like seen in the above video.

        That reminds me of the Toynbee Tiles. I think the pothole mosaics are beautiful - any art is better than plain concrete and asphalt. I really like looking for new graffiti in my city on my walks, and my SO and I used to trade photos of a local tagger’s drawing whenever we saw them - especially if we were far from their usual territory.

    I love the texture and purpose that visible mending gives things. It reminds me of kintsugi-- repairing ceramics with gold. It makes the object feel so much more special and loved. Like that thing has a history and a complex life story.

    Different note: does anyone know if there is a visible mending community already on lemmy?

      If there is, or if there’s not but it gets made, I so want to be a part of it

  • Henri Lefebvre, The Right to the City — In brief, the right to the city is the right to the production of a city. The labor of a worker is the source of most of the value of a commodity that is expropriated by the owner. The worker, therefore, has a right to benefit from that value denied to them. In the same way, the urban citizen produces and reproduces the city through their own daily actions. However, the the city is expropriated from the urbanite by the rich and the state. The right to the city is therefore the right to appropriate the city by and for those who make and remake it.
