BarcelonaAfter studying Various Graffiti works throughout the cities we have visited this semester. I studied how different graffiti effects public space. What I discovered is how it can actually change public space.

Morocco FesOn our field trip to Fes we spent 6 days tour around the city. I looked for Graffiti and soon realized that instead of it ever being considered to be toloated it is considered a crime against their culture and heritage. The buildings are considered profane and the only act of displaying Graffiti is through the carving of coligraphy and inscribtion in Arabic in homes and in Mosques.
