The Portland Graffiti Situation
Portland is spending $4 million on graffiti cleanup, but will fines or jail time make the city safer? Discover why it’s so easy to write graffiti in Portland. We embedded with an up-and-coming writer rappelling off structures, a businessman with cleanup contracts, a veteran vandal with $20k+ in spray paint, and an 84-year-old man taking matters into his own hands.

Cut And Run By Banksy
Check out Banksy’s “CUT & RUN: 25 Years of Card Labour,” the first major retrospective showcasing 25 years of non-conformity and political defiance. Experience thought-provoking art that challenges norms and exposes corruption.
“I’ve kept these stencils hidden away for years, mindful they could be used as evidence in a charge of criminal damage. But that moment seems to have passed, so now I’m exhibiting them in a gallery as works of art. I’m not sure which is the greater crime.”

Banksy’s Create Escape
Titled “Create Escape” the clip was just posted to the artist’s social media channels and depicts the real-time creation of a stenciled artwork of a prisoner escaping the high, red brick walls of HM Prison Reading (formerly known as Reading Gaol). Unlike the bright studio lights that illuminated Ross’s bucolic landscapes, “Create Escape” captures the frantic yet precise execution of a work done in near darkness by an artist completely governed by police response time.

From Beirut to the narrow streets of the centre of Agrigento, one of the oldest cities in Sicily (Italy). In this documentary we again look out for the local street art scene. In Agrigento, street art is located in two main hotspots near the streets of via Neve and via Vallicaldi. The art is still a bit raw, but with a clear effort to embellish the city.

Street Art Beirut Documentary
The street art scene of Beirut is probably the most sophisticated of the entire Middle East. Lebanon was torn by the civil war during the ’80s, when stencils and graffiti were used as propaganda by the various militias. Today the street art scene evolved, although social and political issues are still dominant in many murals. In this short documentary, we discover how some Lebanese artists are trying to use street art as a way to reunite.
Artists pictured in this video: Yazan Halwani, Ernesto Maranje, Jorge Gerada, C215, Into, Said Mahmoud, Karim Temerji, Ashekman.

Hobo Graffiti
Hobos, or tramps, were itinerant workers and wanderers who illegally hopped freight cars on the newly expanding railroad in the United States in the late 19th century. They used graffiti, also known as tramp writing, as a messaging system to tell their fellow travelers where they were and where they were going. Hobos would carve or draw their road persona, or moniker, on stationary objects near railroad tracks, like water towers and bridges.
