Description

Graffiti artists are often the first responders to abandonment. But what happens to their art when development moves in?


In this episode, graffiti artist and muralist Leon Rainbow shares his journey—from tagging walls in California to painting Trenton’s largest mural on the outside of the maximum-security prison. We dive into the role of art as expression, as business, and as community building.
