Description
Despite the rise of a "new" graffiti subculture, public officials in New York and other cities routinely deem it as a criminal act and the potential cause of economic and civic collapse. Ronald Kramer will tell the tale of the emergence of legal graffiti writing in New York City, and how this has led to a new ethos among graffiti writers.
This talk will explore the political and economic advantages that political elites secure by embracing strong "anti-graffiti" positions and why graffiti often stirs intense cultural debates.
