Beyond the Streets

Curated by graffiti historian and urban anthropologist Roger Gastman, Beyond the Streets examines the fundamental human need for public self-expression, highlighting artists with roots in graffiti and street art whose work has evolved into highly disciplined studio practices, alongside important cultural figures inspired by these art forms.

For New York, the traveling art experience takes an expanded look at the role of music and the theme of artist activism, celebrating society’s most pervasive mark makers and rule breakers with a sprawling showcase of work by more than 150 artists from around the world - including Jenny Holzer, Shepard Fairey, Takashi Murakami, and Guerilla Girls.
