Graffiti and street art have long served as powerfully public forms of expression, allowing a grassroots response to the social ills of our time. In the age of Occupy, expanding economic disparity and a growing call for accountability, street artists have found ample material for their work. Join panelists Max Ehrman, a graffiti artist, and Paul Barron, a socially conscious printmaker, photographer and mural artist, for an interactive discussion of how politicized street art has become a catalyst for community change.
