    GRAFFITI: A SPARK IN OUR CITY'S LIFELESSNESS
    by Justine Voutt
    You see it everywhere. Whether it is scribbled in a bathroom stall, or painted on a big brick wall, you recognize graffiti. From tagging and stencils to intricate “throw-ups” or “pieces,” graffiti is an escape from the city’s dull grey walls and roads filled with daily chores and routine. “I think for me, my goal is to invade public spaces and put people in check and knock them out of their routine for a second and make them look at what else is out there. There are actually people willing to paint on surfaces for free because they love it. I think to deny that desire is inhuman,” says Mentos, a writer (aka graffiti artist) in both Vancouver and Toronto.


    Inhuman or not, the right to write is denied by the city of Toronto; in fact, graffiti isn’t even considered art in any way.
    The City of Toronto defines graffiti as “One or more letters, symbols, figures, etching, scratches, inscriptions, stains, or other markings that disfigure or deface a structure or thing, howsoever made or otherwise affixed on the structure or thing, but, for greater certainty, does not include an art mural.” Surprised by the bold definition, I set out to see if other people agreed with the city’s definition.
    In a survey of 100 students at Jarvis, results showed that 88% of students believe that most graffiti is art, with exceptions of some tagging and defacing. “It’s a form of expression, like any type of art,” says Grade 11 student Pedram Mossellanejad.
    Then why all the hate? Why is graffiti illegal and dismissed as solely vandalism?
    The “Broken Window Theory” of James Wilson, Catherine Coles and George Kelling came out of New York when hip-hop culture and graffiti were booming in 1982. The theory assumes that “if acts of vandalism such as broken windows, graffiti and litter are allowed to exist and proliferate, more serious crime, such as rape and murder, are soon to follow.” The City of Toronto seems to have incorporated this theory with a recent bylaw that classifies graffiti writing as an offence grouped with robbery, rape, assault and murder. On top of that, if graffiti writers are found in a group of 3 or more, they are considered a gang, which would increase their sentence if arrested.
    “Unfortunately, it’s the poor people that get stuck with it. That’s something I do regret in a way, but at the same time I think its part of the environment. I think it's part of these realer places that aren’t polished and aren’t fake. It’s real interaction with your environment,” says OAPH, a local writer. It’s just a regrettable fact that crime occurs in poor areas, but it seems rather farfetched to blame it on graffiti.
    The city’s new Bylaw states that it is up to the store or resident owner to remove the graffiti within 72 hours or the city will do it and deduct the price from tax returns. Even if people wish to have a graffiti mural on their property they must run it by the city and pay an additional fee.
    I asked some of Jarvis’s own graffiti writers why they do it and what it means to them. “There are so many paid advertisements we are forced to look at around the city, so why not create our own messages? It’s our chance to create our own art and views,” says Circus, a Jarvis student and local writer.
    “It’s an adrenaline rush being out so late; it’s risky, and I guess that’s also an appeal to it,” adds Kraze, another Jarvis student and local writer.
    Everywhere you turn in the city you are bound to find an advertisement staring right back at you. A vodka ad can take up 100-square feet of a building or the sky but a simple throw-up or tag is considered an eyesore and immediately removed. People pay to spread their product and this unfairly excludes the middle and working class people from being a part of the symbolic dialogue in our city. “It’s important that it’s an individual speaking out in a place where really individuals really don’t have much right to speak out. And if you’re a corporation you’re allowed to put up as much stuff up as you want anywhere," says Yesca, a local writer. Even graffiti itself is acceptable once a corporation has paid to use it for the purpose of advertising. Many campaigns over the years including Nike and Adidas have used graffiti to promote their hip-hop shoes and clothes.
    Groups like Style in Progress, Base Gallery and Them Art help to promote graffiti by legally displaying it in galleries or by getting grants from the city to paint in designated spaces. These are no permanent solutions to the misconception of graffiti but they definitely are a stepping-stone to the greater public understanding the art and messages put out by talented writers.
    “Graffiti is not something you do; it’s a way of life,” said a local Toronto writer, going by the name of Georgie Porgie, at a graffiti forum a couple months ago. “I mean, why would I go through the trouble of buying $30 worth of paint, sketching for weeks, going out all night and putting up a piece if I were just out to damage someone’s property? There’s a big misunderstanding about graffiti.” Or, as OAPH put it, “Some people like to collect stamps; I like to write on walls.”


    fucking long as shit i know.
