In the late 1960s, on the streets of major American cities, a new form of popular expression emerged: graffiti.
A distant descendant of practices dating back thousands of years, it found fertile ground for its development during the following decade, which was marked by economic crisis, the birth of the hip-hop movement and a re-evaluation of traditional artistic media. Immediately opposed by the authorities, this urban art – or street art – was quickly co-opted by the official art world but remains a counter-cultural movement.
The tour will offer an opportunity to discover the artists who have made Caen their playground, the various techniques employed and the many codes that govern the practice.
