Melbourne Is Turning Anti-Attack Bollards Into Art

The #bollart revolution has begun. Krystal Buckle

If theres one thing the people of Melbourne know how to do, its get creative.

Following recent vehicle-based attacks in the UK and France, 200 concrete bollards have been installed around Melbournes city center in the past week.The temporary security measure is one of many precautions the city has introduced to prevent a similar attack.However, theres one thing everyone can agree on. They are ugly.

Taking things into their own hands, Melburnians have united to transform the gray blocks into yes, #bollart.

Lord Mayor of Melbourne Robert Doyle has voiced his support for the growing trend. Im a fan of anything that brightens up the city, adding that he probably wouldnt hire them to decorate his house.

I think its very beautiful that this spontaneous form of art has happened without anybody being able to control it said Christopher Marshall, Associate Professor of Art at the University of Melbourne.

With many blank bollards still strategically placed around the city, expect to see more funky designs and glitter in the coming weeks.
