The show celebrates more than 150 of society's most pervasive mark makers and rule breakers with a sprawling showcase of work from around the world.
Continuing a mission to elevate the genre and defy conventions, BEYOND THE STREETS New York will take over two floors of Twenty Five Kent, a new creative building located on the waterfront in North Williamsburg. Comprised of more than 100,000 square feet of space and feature programming, the exhibit includes performances, lectures, and films, curated by graffiti historian, urban anthropologist, and author Roger Gastman.
