What can graffiti tell us about people, past and present? Find out about two York-based research projects exploring historic and contemporary graffiti – a collaboration between the University of York and English Heritage, and a project based at York St John University on the politics of mark-making. View and interpret the meaning behind historic graffiti, and then unleash your creatviity and represent these meanings yourself on a graffiti wall.

Meet the researchers:  Professor John Schofield, Emma Bryning and Megan Leyland, Department of Archaeology, University of York, and Dr Tyson Mitman and Charlie Kendall, School of Psychological and Social Sciences, York St John University
