Originally showcasing in Los Angeles, the exhibition emphasizes the use of the streets as an urgent form of artist expression. Often used as a stage for public discourse concerning politics, socioeconomic conditions and societal protests, graffiti art is a foundation for anonymous action in urban communities.
