Annotation
"Graffiti in Tehran" explores a cultural resistance founded on anti capitalist privatization notions in the form of provocative wall murals. The harsh climate of the Tehran social sphere (one which encompasses a massive youth population) drives young graffiti artists to express their attitudes and beliefs via visual representation. The article also ventures to suggest that the expansion of graffiti in Tehran can be attributed to the internet, a source which links the Tehran youth culture to the rest of the world.
