While a lot of the graffiti in Venice was just random text scrawled on the wall (and there was <em>a lot<\/em> of graffiti in Venice), and Postojna had a few decent pieces that I just wasn&#8217;t able to get back to, Ljubljana seems to have rich pickings.<\/p>\n<p>For starters, there&#8217;s an area called Metelkova which started as a squat in a former Army barracks, and has now developed into an &#8220;autonomous&#8221; community. It seems that while the local government won&#8217;t formally approve of people living in the buildings and pretty much doing as they like, they also haven&#8217;t knocked it all down or actually evicted people.
