W12: Part II on Cozza
After looking back at Berger’s arguments and how I related them to graffiti, I chose to do a Google search of “Cultural Graffiti,” which resulted in some pretty interesting pictures of street art. This post differs from my last entry because I never noticed that public street art can communicate a strong, social message, while not fully advocating for social justice. For example, I found pictures of street art that focused on global terrorism, interstate warfare, and even oil prices. Whereas other searches resulted in art paying homage to entire nationalities (e.g., Mexico) and other art focused on paying homage to hip-hop’s famed legends (e.g., Notorious B.I.G., and Old Dirty Bastard or ODB).
I found these searches interesting because they appeal to pathos and they force viewers to reminisce on the collective memory of rap’s greatest legends. In other words, the public murals engage viewers, appeal to oppressed groups, and guide viewers in reinscribing the deceased rappers’ collective memory similar to the merits in which Cozza argues when describing students’ projects (e.g., Cozza’s discussion on Megan’s project). This is significant because the use of street art here is used to educate students on cultural, political, and pop cultural icons from the 1990s.
Arguably, these are my favorite types of murals because of their precise details and clever use of contexts and materials.
These go even further and touch on the topics and people directly related to one of my favorite rhetors–Robert Earl Davis Jr (DJ Screw).
