I've always felt that most of the real innovative stuff comes from the street. Most of our music, fashion, car culture and visual forms can be traced back to having their origins in some street culture, attitude, response to the surroundings, environment and economic conditions or just a need to be different and bring in something new. Graffiti, rap, break dancing, skateboarding, bike messengers, free running all share common origins. Exploring these examples and understanding their significance and having an appreciation for the art forms they represent give urban life an edge and the richness of diversity.PowerPoint
