The Evolution and Influence of Chicago-Style Graffiti

In the 1980s and 90s, PENGO and EAST helped pioneer the iconic Chicago-style of graffiti writing, recognizable by its structure, balance, and flow. Drawing on their extensive experience, they will discuss the different elements that influenced Chicago’s unique graffiti style and, in turn, how Chicago has influenced other scenes over the years. This conversation is moderated by artist and curator Dulce Maria Diaz.
