Last night Maria Khimulya, an NYU Florence Junior majoring in Art History, moderated a fascinating discussion with Florentine street artists the No Dump collective and Clet Abraham.
The artists talked about their work and the place that street art – one of the most independent, irreverent, and politically charged contemporary art practices – has in Florence, a city where there is a strong emphasis on the preservation and exhibition of its Renaissance cultural heritage.
Special thanks to NYU Florence students:
Maria Khimulya - organization; Dena Behnam and Arfa Rehman – graphic design; Nicole D´Alessio and Levi Leet - social media and outreach; Sara Barr, Lauren Barker, Keagan Sakai-Kawada, and Montse Evelyn Jungers - operations; Kat Kat Chua, Jay Saltik, Songnia Xiao, and Wenqi Yu - interviews; Hilary Lee, Levi Leet, and Josemiguel Tomita - videography.
