Salon Series 44: From the Source: A Conversation with Chino BYI

Join us for an afternoon with Chino BYI / David Villorente, graffiti writer, historian, author, and former long-time editor of hip hop and culture magazine The Source’s “Graf Flix” column. In conversation with Letterform Archive’s Curatorial Consultant, Kel Troughton, Villorente will share about his experience at The Source during a seminal time for hip hop and graffiti and his take on the relationship between the two. Attendees will also hear his insights on the influence of the ‘90s graffiti community on today’s creative industries from fashion to film.

Villorente and Troughton are two of the co-curators of Subscription to Mischief: Magazines of the 1990s, Letterform Archive’s current exhibition in collaboration with Greg Lamarche / Sp.One on view until January 7th.
