Chandra Morrison Ariyo works across multiple scales of contemporary graffiti production-from tags to massive murals-to show how painting the city enables individuals to reimagine their own position within the material and social structures around them. \u003ci\u003eMetagraffitti \u003c\/i\u003ereveals how practitioners such as Tinho, OSGEMEOS, Grin, and Bisy use metagraffiti features to influence public perceptions about this art form and its effect on the urban environment.
