Lennon Wall
A graffiti-covered wall in Malá Strana that became a 1980s symbol of free expression and is now constantly repainted.
The call

Our read - 02
The honest catch: today it's a managed, sponsored, endlessly-overwritten photo backdrop with a queue of influencers and a tour-group conveyor belt; the original spirit is mostly a plaque.
