I felt that the artist’s choice to include graffiti from local artists was significant because it helped to showcase the culture whose home is the Bronx: Hip-Hop and graffiti. A Gramsci quote comes to mind,”Art itself is interesting; it is interesting in itself, in that it satisfies one of the necessities of life”. The people of the South Bronx, living in an economically disparaged and socially marginalized area, used art (more specifically graffiti) as an expression of this necessity that Gramsci speaks of. There seems to exist some inherent drive in humans to create and/or mold objects and colors and materials in our environment. Living within an “under-privileged” social class didn’t stop the Bronxites from creating their own culture from the dust and ashes of a forgotten urban landscape, a culture which is now one of the most influential in terms of contemporary art and music.-Kyle Henson
