***Details of Post-workshop Sharing Session Updated***
Some consider graffiti as art, and some call it vandalism. The word originates from Greek, γράφειν — graphein — meaning 'to write'. It is about expressing opinions through a pure form of artistic rendering of words and images. Some graffiti works express political messages, satirically critiquing authority and injustice. Throughout the years, graffiti has increasingly gained recognition for its artistic value as a form of public art, and has also deeply intertwined with hip hop culture.
Twelve years ago the 'First Graffiti artist in Asia', MC Yan, created a graffiti wall at the GE May Hall office, blending the styles of east and west. Today, Yan will return and lead students to co-create another visionary graffiti wall in the corridor of our new Gatherland, located in Pao Siu Loong Building.
塗鴉究竟是藝術抑或破壞公物?追溯詞義,原來「Graffiti」源自希臘文γραφειν (graphein),意指「書寫」;書寫所思所想,並非亂畫一通。晦暗巷弄裏的一幅彩色塗鴉,可能帶着作者對當權者及社會不公義的控訴。發展至今,塗鴉在一定程度上被視為街頭藝術,而且是嘻哈文化的重要元素。
12年前,「亞洲塗鴉第一人」MC仁曾為通識梅堂辦公室外的走廊創作一幅中西合璧的塗鴉牆,12年後,MC仁將再度回歸,與同學一起在新Gatherland走廊上創作全新意念的塗鴉牆。
