TTT#13 Graffiti

Download this episode (58 min)
TT Sept. 26: TTT’s Andy Driscoll discusses the phenomenon that is graffiti with a tagger who tells why he “marks his territory” like a claim on the cityscape and graffiti opponents and enforcers who see the markings as the downfall of urban life. Hear Bloch assert that private property should not be private at all. And he doesn’t want graffiti legalized because graffiti will lose its power as commentary if it is. Guests: Stefano Bloch, PhD graduate student in geography at the UofM and acknowledged “tagger;” Gary Schiff, Minneapolis City Councilmember; Laura Waterman Wittstock, Native activist, writer, communications consultant, former director, Migizi Communications; Jane Prince, aide to St. Paul City Councilmember Jay Benanav; Officer Mike Barabas, Graffiti Investigator, St. Paul Police.
