Lecture: 15–17:30 pm
Q&A: 17:30–18 pm
(Lisbon time)
As a closing event for the Urbancreativity.org 2021 Remote Conference (July 8, 9 & 10), we partner with the Urbanario School for a guest masterclass by Javier Abarca.
Street art in the nineties
The popularity of street art waned in the late eighties, and most local scenes vanished with it. The nineties saw little activity in general.
The two main exceptions were Revs and Shepard Fairey, two very different but equally influential artists. The monumental and visionary work developed by Revs and Fairey in the nineties laid the first foundations of what street art would become in the next decade.
A third main harbinger of 21st century street art took shape in Europe by the end of the nineties, when a budding sub-scene of graffiti writers started to experiment with the propagation of images.
This lecture provides both a detailed historic account and an incisive critical contextualisation of the key actors and moments in this underexplored decade.
Urbanario School
The Urbanario School is Javier Abarca’s online academy for advanced education about graffiti and street art. “Street Art in the Nineties” is one of the 20 main lectures in the school’s program. Lectures are pre-recorded and streamable, dynamic and full of high-quality images.
