In our current age, the use of graffiti is actively being hindered due to the majority of our society still associating graffiti with a negative connotation, despite it’s potential to enhance artists’ power to communicate messages to the public in unique ways. Such artists that originated from the graffiti community that upheld and spread a positive impact include Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Blek le Rat, and Banksy.
The purpose of this research project is to advocate for the use of graffiti in a controlled manner to enable individuals to spread a positive impact within their own, local communities.
