Studying graffiti can allow you to become conscious of what it means to make your mark over time. Graffiti as an art form presents an unusual historical domain because we are left with questions about who made the mark, how and why? Graffiti is unlike the typical primary and secondary sources used by historians because authorship, messages and audience are less known to the reader -- we, as historians, have to reconstruct those moments. This kind of historical reconstruction presents an interesting space for us to understand how and for whom historical knowledge is constructed, thus enhancing a focus on historical consciousness and how knowledge becomes 'known' to others. Graffiti presents a view of past from the perspective of rare and lesser known, every day people. To learn more about graffiti in ancient Rome you can click here.

In more contemporary contexts, like in Egypt and Turkey, graffiti tells us about how public spaces are used to express messages during times of dissent and revolution. For example, graffiti about the Arab Spring showed us what occurs when individual and collective voices do not match the forces of authority. In these cases, graffiti memorializes the voices of individuals who resist censorship and persist to have their memories shared publicly, even if the act of graffiti poses a risk to their own health or safety. You can learn more about graffiti and the Egyptian Arab Spring here. This kind of attempt to be 'heard' and remembered urges us to consider what is just or ethical and what further actions might be necessary to encourage historical consciousness more broadly. Art historian, Bahia Shehab discusses her fascination with street art during the Arab Spring here - her message is transformative.

Graffiti helps us to uncover competing truth claims and to determine when that meaning can better inform a more holistic and collective understanding of the past. To learn more about claim testers and how students can assess competing truth claims you can click here. Ultimately, students learn to challenge the assumption that history is already written and just merely passed along to them. Instead it offers learners an opportunity to discover how and for whom history is remembered.

A brief history of graffiti - Kelly Wall

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Spray-painted subway cars, tagged bridges, mural-covered walls - graffiti pops up boldly throughout our cities. And it turns out: it's nothing new. Graffiti has been around for thousands of years. And across that span of time, it's raised the same questions we debate now: Is it art? Is it vandalism?

Is graffiti art? Or vandalism? - Kelly Wall

Los Angeles is famous for its murals. The artwork covers the sides of buildings and bridges over busy roads. They add color and personality to the city.

Many people drive by a huge mural of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra every day as they go to or from work. The mural is easily seen from a major road near the city center.

Kent Twitchell created the mural in 1991. Twenty years earlier, he painted another mural on the side of a two-floor house.

"I decided to paint my favorite actor -- Steve McQueen. You know, I, I didn't fancy myself to be some heavy-duty modernist artist. I just painted what felt good to me."

Photographs of that Steve McQueen mural made Kent Twitchell famous.

His other works include a work in honor of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics and paintings of America's founding fathers. Some important murals, however, have been painted over or damaged.

"I was so naïve I thought I was living in Florence, and that people would just appreciate it and, and love it. But that didn't turn out to be the case in many instances, and a lot of the, the great L.A. murals are gone now."

Some historic art in Los Angeles has been repaired. Leslie Rainer is with the Getty Conservation Institute. She says experts carefully repaired a mural from 1932 by visiting Mexican artist David Alfaro Siqueiros.

"He painted this very controversial image of a crucified central figure with an eagle looming above him, and some revolutionaries aiming their rifles at the eagle."

She says the message of the painting is not clear. The eagle could represent the United States or Mexico. Each country has chosen the bird as its national symbol. But local leaders objected to the image, so workers painted over the Siqueiros mural. Yet the mural served to motivate and influence other artists over the past half century.

Artist Lydia Emily uses wall art to express a social message. In one mural, she tells the story of a victim of the sex trade. The artist says her work shows the face of the young woman named Jessica and a bird that represents freedom.

"I did an interview with Jessica where I learned her entire story -- how she was kidnapped, how she was sexually trafficked for her whole life, how she was rescued, how she became who she is today. And then I tried to paint the narrative."

Lydia Emily also painted a mural in Skid Row, a neighborhood where many homeless people live. It shows an African woman of the Masai tribe and native birds of Kenya. The artist says the image represents the difficult life of the world's indigenous, native, peoples.

Los Angeles officials once opposed murals and other street art. Now they are providing support, as long as the owner of the property gives permission. Officials recently eased rules about street murals in an effort to get more art and color in the city.
