Exhibition Chronicles Graffiti History at Bronx Art Space

An exhibition titled 'TALES FROM THE GHOST YARD' is currently on view at Bronx Art Space, curated by artist and educator Christine DeFazio. The show presents works by graffiti writers MIKE 171, SJK 171, SNAKE 1, and T-KID 170, alongside historical photographs documenting activity at The Ghost Yard, a major New York City train yard, from the 1970s to the 1980s. DeFazio's interest in graffiti developed through her teaching work in the Bronx, leading to this curation focused on the site's significance in the evolution of street art. The exhibition includes a closing event on February 14, coinciding with the launch of DeFazio's new book, 'Bronx Visual Identity,' which examines the development of writing culture.
