Delta 2

Teeming with vibrant colors and swooping patterns, the walls that surfaced at this past weekend’s 45th edition of the legendary East Harlem-based Graffiti Hall of Fame burst with creative energy. And for the first time ever, one entire section of the huge school yard showcased exclusively the skills of female writers and muralists. Among them are: Queen Andrea, Shiro, Scratch, Indie, Danielle Mastrion, WinkStyles, KayLove, MRS and Moka. What follows are several walls captured this past Sunday, August 17th — the second day of this annual event, produced under the curatorial direction of Sharif Profit.
