More than thirty years ago, the youth of New York’s neglected neighborhoods started a revolution by spray-painting their names on subway trains. The energy and freedom of this expression has inspired generations of youth throughout the world, yet the established authorities and institutions continually deny its merit. Working against the powers of the media, the police, and the art world, aerosol artists have developed a unique worldwide culture based on respect, camaraderie and a shared struggle to re-claim and re-create their environments.
Just to Get a Rep rigorously examines the love-hate relationship between graffiti and hip-hop. Hear the true story of aerosol art as told by New York’s pioneers as well as today’s innovators from all over the world.

To ask Mr. Quiñones a question, click here. His first set of answers will appear in City Room on Wednesday.
There are some “killer questions” so far. Including this one from TED:
“if a property owner injures or kills a strange person in the act of defacing private property is the property owner guilty of committing a crime or creating art?”
