This Week at SubRosa, February 14th-20th
-Wednesday Feb. 16th: Radical Film Night- "Piece by Piece"- 7:30pm
Piece by Piece documents the history of San Francisco’s controversial graffiti art movement, with a fast-paced journey into the world of San Francisco street art, as seen through the eye of the artists. Chronicling more than 20 years of creation and destruction — honestly, accurately, and critically, the film takes you alongside those who lived in what is arguably one of the most influential youth cultures of our time.
San Francisco’s graffiti style arose in the period from 1983 to 1993. Piece by Piece starts by documenting what laid the groundwork for today’s Bay Area graffiti: “Cholo” writing and the impact of PBS’s 1983 documentary, Style Wars. The film includes not only San Francisco’s graffiti originals, but also commentary from noted New York “writers” such as Seen, Cope 2, and Case 2. It also covers the tragedy of Dream One, a San Francisco graffiti pioneer and a vocal figurehead in Bay Area urban welfare activism.
From 1993 to 2000, San Francisco became an international magnet for ground-breaking graffiti styles yet to be seen in other parts of the world. The film elaborates on what it takes to establish credibility among the graffiti community, featuring classic works from KR and the horses of Reminisce; and documenting the creative expression of these and other “writers.” The film also features well-known graffiti artists such as Grey, Buter, Joro, Norm, and Barry McGee (Twist). review from: http://ishogun.com

Comments on the SubRosa website are fully moderated. As a collective, we agreed that the purpose of the website was to promote SubRosa, not to provide an online place for lively and invigorating debate. We hope that the space itself is where conversations on the nature of anarchism and local projects will take place. That said, we occasionally approve comments that are informative or reflect a viewpoint we feel it is important for website visitors to read.
