WHO OWNS THE CITY?
I had the opportunity to be part of the panel discussion Who Owns the City? FLINTA* people in the graffiti scene. The event was organized by the Vienna-based antifa collective, in collaboration with Sisterhood.
I shared the panel with amazing artists from across the scene: Feminist Killjoy from Vienna, Mali from Barcelona, and Cortina from Mexico, currently based in Vienna. Together, we explored questions around ownership of public space, the role of FLINTA* people in the graffiti world, and the challenges of navigating a male-dominated subculture. Earlier that day, Mali and I painted a mural on a legal graffiti wall by the Elbe river to promote the event.
The event also featured a powerful graffiti exhibition highlighting the work of women in graffiti. Several mini-documentaries were screened on-site, focusing on female perspectives within the scene. One of them was filmed in Prague and featured me and Leny, offering a glimpse into our own experience.
