She wrote, “At its heart, graffiti is about documenting presence; it is a way of saying ‘I was here,’ but up until the early 1970s writers were probably not documenting their own their own work or creative processes. As the movement grew, however, many writers began informally documenting their work and the work of their peers” (Masilamani 6). Graffiti writers write for other graffiti…
