Film Screening - The Red Line D.C. Project is a thought-provoking documentary about illegal art and public space. Is Washington’s metro graffiti nothing more than “visual litter” or a cause for conversation in transit? With the red line as our backdrop, a fifteen minute ride across seven metro stops demonstrates a city’s struggle with visibility and power. Buffed walls become political and random names serve as statements of rebellion. Using interviews with graffiti writers, metro riders, D.C. arts organizations and city officials, we explore the impact of graffiti and the changing aesthetics of the city.
