A lecture by Edward Birzin Ph.D. (Brooklyn College), Greg Snyder Ph.D. (Baruch College), and Helixx C. Armageddon about the media's role in popularizing, undermining and memorializing graffiti. They'll explore press coverage on graffiti's early roots in NYC, how publications have provided platforms for the art form to reach mass market over the years, and examine how more recent work was reported on during the 2020 civil rights movement.
