The Un-Vandalism Event

Sat, Aug 29   -- The Un-Vandalism Event ::AC!D W/ SPECIAL GUESTS Hiwot Adilow, *hitmayng, and Lord of the Fly

“It is not vandalism, it is visual art.” -- AC!D

Let’s subvert the stereotype of graffiti and stimulate your vision. Graffiti starts at 10am until the wall is finished. Come early to see the process, talk with the graffiti artists, and get their signatured stickers! The open mic welcomes every poet and rapper to spit their work! (sign up at 1:30pm and start at 2pm). Outdoor DJs (special guests to be announced).

AC!D, 19-year-old international graffiti artist from Chengdu, China, will be processing graffiti on the spot with the dopest local graffiti artists based in Madison. Aiming at using graffiti as a way to search for the identity and promote different forms of art in public, AC!D has been doing visual art for over ten years and graffiti for over two years.
