DESCRIPTION
This course has been designed as an introduction to the impact graffiti and street art have on the culture of Madrid. Over the past four decades, street art and graffiti have become much more than the spray paint cans and rebellion of the young. Graffiti and street art interfere and overlap with many disciplines including. calligraphy, activism, publicity and urban exploration. This course will exam not only the cultural impact, but also the sociological impact of street art. The course will combine lectures, walking tours, guided explorations, hands-on activities, readings, discussions, documentary viewing and image analysis.
