During the PATH 2019/2020 Winter Intensive, students got a personalized tour of the Museum of Graffiti; the world’s first museum dedicated to the evolution of graffiti. Co-founder Alan Ket and curator Carlos “MARE139” Rodriguez led the tour, which featured works by StayHigh149, Ghost and Giz, Martha Cooper, Henry Chalfont, Niels Shoemeulman, OG Slick and more. Students were engaged through discussions on the history, styles, and future of graffiti culture.
