To mark the tenth edition of The Crystal Ship, the SUBWAY ART exhibition invites you to return to the origins of street art. Because in the beginning, there was... graffiti.
What is now embraced worldwide as street art has its roots in the underground graffiti culture of the 1960s. Even before murals colored the cityscape and social media accelerated their spread, ‘writers’ sought out the shadows rather than the light.
In the mysterious setting of Fort Napoleon, you literally step into that dark world. Like Ariadne's thread, you follow the path of an imaginary writer, jointly created by artists Bruno Brunet, Benoît Brasseur, and the Crafteke collective. Along the way, you will learn about the language of graffiti and its evolution from underground subculture to international art form.
