IIT G Stories B: Graffiti

Whilst getting some printouts, I noticed that apart from the pens and notebooks, the display windows were primarily filled with cans of spray paint. As a student from DU I've seen tags but I've also seen them covered up within a few weeks. Curious, I asked how common is spray tagging? Is it used for rebellion, art, expression?

Unlike where I am from, spray painting in IIT G is a pretty accepted form of communication and artistic expression. The first three photos are from behind the food court. Pretty tags.

The two that follow are a dedicated wall for tags. (Facilitation. We like that.)

And the last two were murals around Lohit. The canteen that stays up all night in IIT G.

It was fun to see the artistic side of a top tier educational centre.
