Description

City As Canvas: Above the Free Walls is an award-winning documentary introducing the artists from all over Boston and the world who create Cambridge's “Graffiti Alley.” The film features personal, in-depth interviews with numerous artists who reflect on the complexity and depth of their world, alongside street arts, public arts, graffiti arts, and never-before-seen works to illuminate this visual adventure. These artists have developed a voice that speaks to a new generation of street art within the public art movement. Following the screening (64 minutes), there will be a Q & A with the film director, Weiying Olivia Huang and artist Karl Stephan to discuss the making of the film, public art and the street art community. This program is supported in part by a grant from the Mass Humanities, Mass Cultural Council, the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture, and the City of Boston.
