The God Bless Graffiti
“Coalition, Inc. was founded in 2000 in Chicago in order to
combat growing national and international anti-graffiti trends. We first
published our “Give Graffiti the Thumbs Up” brochure to help educate the public
about the Truth of graffiti.“ We hope in
the near future to make connections to pilgrims on similar roads in other parts
of the world as well as bring our message to larger audiences on the radio and
television via public service announcements. “For Graffiti so loved the world
that it gave itself to the sole purpose of giving to earth everlasting beauty.”
Rusto 3:16.”
Ruben Ortiz-Torres
“Rubén Ortiz-Torres works in a variety of media to explore
cultural representations and collisions as they appear in everyday cultural
life. While his work predominately focuses on the Chicano experience, his
purview includes all forms of cultural connection and collision. He has
produces numerous photographs, paintings, hats, trucks and even leaf blowers as
media to investigate signature materials and images of this cultural
experience.” Pg. 31 & 32
Seeing Power 107-146
“Sontag hoped to galvanize the international cultural community
to bring attention to the atrocities in Sarajevo, and, perhaps, to lobby the
U.S government to intervene—a position that garnered much controversy from
those on the left.” Pg. 108
“The anarchists enjoyed music. They had tattoos, piercings,
cool shirts, and odd haircuts, and they were unafraid to stand in opposition to
the essentials of the American lifestyle. “

Kendrick Lamar- Kendrick Lamar is an artist who has been
influencing or attempting to influence society. He released an album called “How
to pimp a butterfly, (which I have 2 signed copes off) and this album is a
response to racism, violence, and police brutality. The song “blacker the berry”
is in response to the Trayvon Martin case and he has many other songs which
touch upon important topics. Kendrick goes around many schools, as a matter of
fact he visited my brother’s high school, High Tech High school and had a
seminar to talk to the students, followed by a quick performance. I think
Kendrick is a positive influence in today’s society.
