Earlier this week, I met a young woman who uses graffiti as a medium to address social issues within her hometown of Baltimore. Yes, her work crosses into the illegal, but it made me wonder if the cause could justify the means? We'll see.
Although it's just the work of one young girl, there are fliers popping up around Baltimore City, mostly closer to the MICA campus, addressing the issue of self harm. The posters, applied with a simple wheat paste, tell the story of a victim as well as the street artist's words of hope to her. If you should see fliers that might be the ones I'm talking about, look for a symbol of a moose, the artist's mark. - Lauren
