Ep.22 Graffiti

Graffiti is older than spray cans and subway tunnels, way older. In this episode, we trace humanity’s urge to write on walls from ancient Roman bathroom jokes to Viking ship carvings, World War II “Kilroy” tags, and the wild lettering of 1970s New York subways. Along the way, graffiti shifted from vandalism to protest to art gallery commodity, while still sparking the same old question: is it crime, or is it culture? Either way, it’s proof that humans have always had something to say, and a habit of saying it on someone else’s property.
