Description
Nation of Graffiti Artists is a photographic record of an artist's workshop that brought together hundreds of teenagers in 1970s New York to learn and express themselves through art. In 1974, the city leased a storefront for just $1 a month, and the space was transformed into a vibrant community hub where kids could hone their skills and bring their artwork to local protests.
Photojournalist Michael Lawrence documented the experiment from 1974 to 1979, capturing the creativity and energy of the participants. The book is a testament to the power of art to bring people together and give voice to those who might otherwise be overlooked.
Through Lawrence's extraordinary images, the story of NOGA is told by the workshop's surviving members, offering a unique glimpse into a hidden chapter of New York's history. This book is a fascinating look at a time and place where art and politics intersected, and where the boundaries between creativity and activism were blurred.
