Graffiti Art traces its origins back to the 70’s urban graffiti of New York City’s outer boroughs and from there this culture spread to urban cities around the world. Street art is the product of disenfranchised youths who illegally spray-painted their “tags” or “handles” in visible public spaces and on subway trains, it then developed into a phenomenon with its own set of rules and followers. 

These artists began moving beyond purely word- based graffiti, incorporating cartoons, photographs and pop-culture imagery often referencing alternative lifestyles, cultures and nationalities but still staying true to each individual as a writer. The art world soon took note, and “Street Art” was celebrated as an exciting new form of self-expression enabling even marginalized voices to be heard. 

 Today, works cover a plethora of styles but none are as coveted and universal as the art of “Letters.” This show will display the artists as individuals but at its core, the love of “Letters” and the possibilities of creating, affirming community identity, solidarity, and pride through the art of Graffiti.
