In thinking about the subject, it is clear that graffiti can operate from many angles. In essence it is a mode of communication. I’m hesitant to use the word “expression” because it’s a loaded term that conveys legitimacy. As a form of communication, it comes in many varieties: political graffiti, graffiti art, advertising, gang-related tagging, drunk shaming, culture jamming (subvertising), etc. How do you decide when it’s a positive thing or a negative thing? I suppose it all depends on point of view, and if that’s the case whose point of view wins out when there is a conflict?
