  STYLE WARS  


Monday May 2 | Waterfront Studio | 7.30pm
 

When director Tony Silver and partner producer Henry Chalfant delivered the broadcast version of their prize-winning film to PBS in 1983,the world received its first full immersion in the phenomenon that had taken over NewYork City. The urban landscape was physically transformed by graffiti artists who invented a new visual language to express both their individuality and the voice of their community. In Style Wars, NY’s ramshackle subway system is their public playground,
battleground and spectacular artistic canvas.

Style Wars has become an emblem of the original, embracing the spirit of hip hop as it exploded into the world from underground tunnels, uptown streets, clubs and playgrounds. The film has is regarded by many as the definitive document of the emerging hip hop culture, and the continuing struggle to keep its authentic spirit alive.

Tickets £3.00 available from the Waterfront Hall on 028 90334455
