On April 20, 2022, City, in collaboration with Feminist Autonomous Centre for Research and Nuart Journal, hosted a roundtable discussion based on the Special Feature “Inscriptions of Crisis: Graffiti, Street Art & Urban Interventions” which we published as part of Issue 25.3-4. (Click on the hyperlinks for respective articles).
The Special Feature is our attempt to reclaim space as queer feminists in what started and flourished as a boyish, aggressive, and sometimes macho subculture. It is our way to tag a spot for queer feminist contributions to the academic subfield of graffiti and street art. But most of all, a way of acknowledging and celebrating the queer feminist struggles of the last decade that led to this new and refreshing visibility on and against the walls.
Roundtable Participants:
Anna Carastathis (FAC Research, Greece)
Myrto Tsil (FAC Research, Greece)
