HISTORY
Documenting the history of writing is inevitably subjective. Due to the fact that it is an underground movement and the life span of works can be as brief as days, most of history is limited to word-of-mouth accounts. We here @149st have made a modest and ongoing attempt to encapsulate the history. In addition to witnessing history first hand, we have spoken directly with many participants. Keep in mind that this site is a If and its aim is to build towards an accurate telling of history.
We recommend our book, Graffiti New York. It is a companion to this website. We also suggest that you take a look at different perspectives on history provided on our Recommended Graffiti Books list.
