Re: Legally graffiting our community
Dear Mikayla,
As you may know we have the 34th Street Wall, also known as the Graffiti Wall. The past week I have visited this magnificient wall and also witnessed people of our community decorate it with their paints and spray cans. I havent taken any pictures yet because every time I go, I end up liking a new spot or finding something interesting i had thought was before had.
Also, due to the fact that there are probably over 1,000 different art pieces on this wall I have not had to time thoroughly examine every crack and hole. One part I have thought about many times is the huge section that has the death of a boy named Parker on the wall and I’m very interested in what his story was and why nobody has came and painted over this certain section.
As previously stated, the wall is continuously changing and this reminds me of hip-hop culture and music. This reminds me of hip-hop music in the way that the culture is always changing like the wall but the murla of whomever “Parker” may be and the meaning of hip-hop culture are both always constant. I want to relate these topics in my essay and explore more into why certain aspects are constantly changing and others are just constant.
Sincerely yours,
Alexandra Weston
