Description

During the first discussion round of goINDIGO 2022, which took place on Thursday, 12 May and was called Creators vs Academics, four local graffiti creators were invited to consider a series of (potentially provocative) statements in discussion with symposium participants (joining in-person and online). The statements, compiled by Geert Verhoeven in consultation with Samuel Merrill, were:

  • Academia CHANGES graffiti
  • Graffiti MUST be recorded
  • ALL graffiti are archive-worthy
  • Decontextualisation MATTERS
  • Graffiti NEED categorisation
  • Digital media are ESSENTIAL
