Abstract

Craig Castleman is the author of seminal “Getting Up: Subway Graffiti In New York” originally published by MIT press, cult book for the graffiti/street art subculture and mandatory bibliographic reference in the academic field. 

Advised at Columbia University by Margaret Mead, famous anthropologist known for her work on the relationship of culture and personality and Loius Forsdale that suggested: “this isn’t the time to worry about why people write and fight graffiti, because we aren’t sure yet jus what it is that they are doing. Find that out first. People can argue about what it all means later on.”

We also share the room with the organisations Contorno Urbano and Indague, who developed in 2019 with Craig the Castleman Tour: a project in Spain with 16 events, an exhibition and the launch of the book Getting Up again: 40 years later, made it possible with the support of community writers in crowdfunding strategy.
