“Which classes of society can write their messages on the city, and which classes of society are marginalized?” This question, and others, are explored in a film about the way public space is used and regulated in cities across the world. This Space Available examines the arguments and approaches of street artists, activists and politicians around the world who are fighting to “reclaim the streets” from advertisers.
