Online binge-watching of "The Rise of Graffiti Writing"
During these times of physical distancing, Urban Creativity Lund invite you to an online binge-watching of Arte's series "The Rise of Graffiti Writing - From New York To Europe", season 1-3.
On 1 May 2020, we will watch all three seasons of the series together with the creators, René Kæstner and Lars Pedersen. They will introduce the project, briefly discuss each season, and finally participate in an online discussion about the chronicling of the history of European Stylewriting.
The three seasons tell the story of graffiti from its beginnings in 1970s New York to its arrival in Europe in the 1980s. Developing in the creative cauldron of the Bronx before crossing the Atlantic, beginning with metropolitan areas around cities lika Amsterdam, Paris, London and Copenhagen before taking over the entire continent.
