MARCH 22ND ART EXHIBIT FEATURING THE FATHER OF GRAFFITI, CORNBREAD THE LEGEND
Gear up for a night where art breaks free from the ordinary at the “Behind Enemy Lines” exhibition this March 22, presented by @thinkermakerssociety! It’s not just a showcase; it’s a narrative woven through the masterstrokes of Philly’s finest - RAME, SPEL, RAKAN, and the iconic Cornbread the Legend. #BehindEnemyLines is more than an art show; it’s a poignant statement on freedom and resilience. 🎨
💥 Featuring #SPEL, a true warrior of art, trapped within the system for a crime he stands innocent of, and #RAKAN, counting down days to liberation. These legends, alongside other yet-to-be-announced talents, are the heartbeat of the Philly graffiti scene. 💔 #FreeSpel #FreeRakan
This show is personal. It’s a tribute to those who laid the foundation of our movement and to the ones who’ve passed the torch. 🌆 #RaySluggsENT and I invite you to stand with us, as we amplify the voices behind the art, spotlight the wrongful incarcerations, and celebrate the unyielding spirit of Philly’s street art legacy. ✊
🌟 Shout out to the real #LEGENDS who’ve shared the space with me - @cornbreadthelegend, @precise, @culture_livingston, @famouscaemus, and many more who stand tall in the history of our culture.
Don’t miss the chance to witness this pivotal moment in Philly art history. Let’s take this outside, let’s make this loud, let’s bring the culture to the forefront.
