- **Event Description**: Engaging, thought provoking lectures by experts, professors, creatives in Ottawa barsAbout this Event?Lecture: "Graffiti is the largest art movement in history"?Speaker: Chris Martin (PhD &amp; Professor of Social Science) &amp; Diana McGlinchey (MSc, Principal Investigator of the Victimology Research Centre)The purpose, message, and potential benefits of graffiti are often lost as quickly as the bold colours and designs of the mark are. From taggers to Banksy, street art has risen from the streets to the art gallery to the auction house, but we are still ill-equipped to understand the ways in which it can speak to us and what it is saying. This talk will examine the language of some varied types of graffiti and street art while uncovering the contemporary uses and purpose behind our need to tag out our existence through shapes and lines on buildings and city blocks. It will discuss how graffiti—and street art more broadly—is the largest and most egalitarian art movement in the history of art worlds. It is informed by years of research, including interviews with local artists and activists, global street art tours, and extensive research for an upcoming book by the presenters called Reading Graffiti: The Semiotics of Street Art.Chris William Martin, PhD and Professor of Social Sciences at Algonquin College. He is a devoted educator with 10 years' experience teaching classes in courses like sociology, ethics, and research methods. He is the author of the book,The Social Semiotics of Tattoos: Skin and Self which was based on years of ethnographic field research working alongside tattoo artists in Ottawa.Diana McGlinchey, MSc, Principal Investigator of the Victimology Research Centre.
