Kings Way

Product Description

A quarter of a century ago, the New York City hip-hop phenomenon left its mark on Australian walls - a graffiti-writing culture was born.
In a barrage of blinding colour, cryptic words and bombed out train carriages, Kings Way tells the story of Melbourne's emerging underground writing scene and the youth integral to it, whose sole purpose was to get up. Using the city's walls and trains as their ephemeral canvas, these writers pioneered the elaborate spray-paint artworks that continue to dominate Melbourne's cityscape.
