Presumably the Stormzy piece was an expression of their love for Grime music rather than an ad for the upcoming concert.

  It was an ad (though the two aren't mutually exclusive I guess). It's not made very clear in the article, but SUBSET (formerly Rabbit Hole Productions) are a commercial entity - as Rabbit Hole I've seen ads by them for things like recruitment agencies and Hollywood movies. Grey Area does appear to be a non-commercial (if self-promotional) project. I'm also surprised the Maser Repeal mural hasn't been mentioned, as it's a similar story: this is a mural that was commissioned by a theatre in Dublin on the theatre's wall in support of the abortion referendum campaign. It was first removed due to a lack of planning permission; after they acquired proper planning permission it was later removed after a complaint by the charity regulator that it violated the theatre's stated charitable purpose and would lose them their charitable status. It finally got a third iteration on the wall of Amnesty International Ireland nearby.
