Synopses & Reviews
Veteran graffiti writers SFaustina and Jocelyn Superstar have collaborated on a history of the graffiti scene in the San Franscisco Bay area from the early 1980s to the late 1990s. The result of their collaboration, Bay Area Graffiti: 80–90, provides a glimpse into street art history that is seldom seen: one that is authored by a pair of writers who have 40 years of graffiti experience between them and provides an insider’s view on history and relevance of graffiti. Bay Area Graffiti: 80–90 will include interviews with a range of the period’s artists, such as BIGFOOT, ESKIMO, MQ and REVOK.
