Atlanta’ explores graffiti art and style writing – WABE

Spending a day in Atlanta guarantees you’ll encounter colorful public art. The dynamic appearance of our city streets owes its origins to generations of graffiti artists and style writers. Their activity, although in some cases outside the bounds of what is strictly legal, has evolved into a proud culture of public art and an ongoing visual conversation.

A new short documentary, “City of Kings: Atlanta,” explores the history of the phenomenon through rare interviews with some of Atlanta’s most influential participants. The film was accepted into the Hip Hop Cinefest in Rome, Italy, and you can stream the documentary on their website until May 19.

“City Lights” Executive Producer Kim Drobes spoke with filmmaker Will Feagins about “City of Kings: Atlanta.”
