To some, street art and graffiti is nothing but vandalism. But to these young artists, it is a vital form of self expression. In this eye-opening program we speak to eight members of Melbourne's thriving street art scene. Through their stories we look at Melbourne's street art and the contribution of street art and graffiti to art and society around the world. We explore the history of street art, the influences on our featured artists, and the materials and techniques they use. We also define street art and graffiti, and discuss the contentious issue of street art in art galleries.
