INTRODUCTION
STREET ARTS

Starting from Scratch
Let’s begin with two generally agreed upon definitions of Hip Hop.
One deals in the intangible realm of sensibility and perspective:
Hip Hop = Culture. The second refers to the business of selling
snapshots and sound-bites gleaned from the culture’s creative
expression: Hip Hop = $.
If Hip Hop is indeed a way of life, what is that “way?”
Consider an apt metaphor derived from a widely known mode
of Hip Hop expression, the scratch. Created when the turntablist’s fingers manipulate
recorded sound in sync to new musical elements, the scratch is both defiant and
tributary.
Note from the Project Director
Art is food. You can’t eat it but it feeds you… It needs to be everywhere because it
is inside the world… Art soothes pain! Art wakes up sleepers! Art fights against war
and stupidity! Art is like good bread! Art is like white clouds in blue sky!…HURRAH!
— Bread & Puppet Theatre
I am pleased to welcome everyone to STREET ARTS: A
Celebration of Hip Hop Culture & Free Expression, an
arts collaboration with 25 local organizations featuring a
full line-up of public programs this fall. We have worked
together to develop programs that celebrate art in the urban
environment, freedom of speech and collaborations among
artists and organizations.
After spending much of last year on the LAND/ART project that looked to
the natural environment of New Mexico, the STREET ARTS project focuses
on Albuquerque as the urban center of the state. The programming presents
local artists along with an array of guest artists and performers from around
the country and the world, with a scope ranging from explorations of regional
identity, to global perspectives from Africa, Brazil, Cuba and England. The
dialogue spans history, civil liberties, human rights and questions what
freedom means in the United States and in other parts of the world. The project
helps connect New Mexico artists, performers and audiences with a larger,
international dialogue.
The Calligraphy of Chaz Bojórquez
New Mexico Remix
In many ways the entire STREET ARTS project owes its inspiration to the work and
enthusiastic energy of Charles “Chaz” Bojórquez, an artist of exceptional skill,
dynamism, and dedication to education and support for younger artists. In 1969
Chaz’s imagery burst into Los Angeles’ collective
consciousness when his signature image “Señor
Suerte” first went up on a concrete pier along
the 110 freeway heading east towards Pasadena.
Since then it has appeared in Hollywood films
and educational documentaries, in mainstream
art magazines, on gallery walls in Milan and
Osaka and Madrid, and in museums such as the
Smithsonian Institution. However it was only when
his icon began to appear in prison tattoos, and in
other graffiti artists’ piece books that Chaz felt he
had really made a difference, that his work was
speaking to his community. Since 1969 he has
been sharing his refined aesthetic and dedication
to craftsmanship with anyone who cared to ask,
and has selflessly served as a mentor to generations of artists. He is the ultimate
example of an old school street writer yet he pushes forward with his ever inspired
innovation and passion for the work of others. We thank him for all he has done to
motivate our thinking about community based art forms and the universal relevance
of locally-rooted forms.
516 ARTS presents a special collaborative project with artist Chaz Bojórquez and
Hip Hop playwright Idris Goodwin titled New Mexico Remix. Goodwin has created
a new play that integrates the stories of New Mexico youth who participated in his
summer workshop at the National Hispanic Cultural Center’s Voces writing program.
Bojórquez will create a site-specific, temporary mural incorporating text from
Goodwin’s play on the 25-foot high front wall of 516 ARTS. Goodwin will perform
New Mexico Remix at the KiMo Theatre on November 6, opening for Amiri Baraka
and Cecil Taylor for SHOUT-OUT: A Festival of Rhythm & Rhyme. The mural will be
on view at 516 ARTS October 2 - December 11 during the exhibition Street Text: Art
From the Coasts. Chaz Bojórquez’ residency in Albuquerque for STREET ARTS is cosponsored by Albuquerque Academy.

Curator of Art, The Albuquerque Museum
The subject of this series of events includes, but is not limited to, the elements
of Hip Hop culture. Many of the programs and events focus on educating young
people about their civil liberties, highlighting issues of access and freedom of
expression. Who gets to “play” in the art world is largely dependent on who has
access to it. Street Art has become such a vibrant movement around the world
because it gives a voice to the people and invites everyone to participate.
The STREET ARTS project centers around current day trends in Street Arts, its
roots in graffiti writing and its relationship to Hip Hop. So what is the difference
between Street Art and graffiti? “Street art is more about interacting with the
audience on the street and the people, the masses. Graffiti is about connecting
with different crews, it’s an internal language.”1 In both cases, “...physically
connecting to the street through art or graffiti is a uniquely corporal way to
integrate with the city, or with your neighborhood… For artists it’s a form of
dissent and self-affirmation, a way of not accepting the lot you’ve been given.”2
Graffiti master Chaz Bojórquez, asks, “Does graffiti have intent, purpose, cultural
identity, history and create unity? Who owns the public space and who has the
right to speak and be heard?”
I’d like to thank the many colleagues and friends, whose teamwork was
invaluable to this project, especially Andrew Connors, Francesca Searer,
Rhiannon Mercer, Barbara Geary, Christopher Goblet and Sherri Brueggemann.
Special thanks to the ACLU-NM for spurring this collaboration onward, to
Rob Strell and Gary McAfee for hosting the Street Arts fundraiser and to the
dedicated Board, staff and volunteers of 516 ARTS. And thank you to the McCune
Charitable Foundation, The FUNd at Albuquerque Community Foundation, The
City of Albuquerque, New Mexico Arts and all the generous grant funders,
sponsors, business supporters, advertisers, artists and speakers who have given
their time and creativity, and all the members and contributors of 516 ARTS. We
couldn’t do it without you!

The practice of re-contextualizing sound and symbol is evident in Hip Hop’s signpost
elements: “break dancing,” “MC’ing/rapping,” “graffiti,” “beat making” and “beat
boxing.” Each challenge the norms of the visual/performance/literary mediums in
which they’re associated. This subversive approach extends beyond art making to
education, activism and government. Those marginalized are empowered by Hip Hop
to deconstruct and remix unjust dominant cultural narratives.
Though Hip Hop’s retail products participate in global capitalism, there are still graff
artists who put their bodies at risk challenging notions of public vs. private space.
Turntablists and beat-makers innovate audio technology, questioning the ownership
of sound. Breakers shatter popular notions of the traditionally trained dancer. Hip Hop
writers rattle the realms of literature, theater and journalism. Its lyricists move crowds
in meaningful ways, transcending narrow night club music.
Since the 90’s, Hip Hop poets have contributed to the revitalization of performance
poetry. In stride with the self-sustaining spoken word community, Hip Hop poets
brandish the kinetic rhythm of the block party, reporting the human condition to an
audience trained to listen closely.
SHOUT OUT: A Festival of Rhythm and Rhyme shines the spotlight on this
new breed of Hip Hop poet. Like the scratch, we’ll leap forward and back in one
electrifying movement. We’ll celebrate the passionate poetry of Amiri Baraka, a
pivotal figure in the 60’s black arts movement to which Hip Hop owes a tremendous
debt. We’ll head nod and stomp feet to the word play of two widely revered writers of
the Hip Hop generation: Amalia Ortiz, an award winning poet whose work examines
the complexities of the Chicana experience -- both stateside and abroad -- with
intelligence and beauty; and Kevin Coval, a critically acclaimed poet and co-founder
of Louder Than A Bomb, the world’s largest youth literacy festival. Throughout the four
days New Mexico’s own diverse poetic voices will bless the stage and electrify all with
homespun lyricism.
The phrase “Hip Hop is Dead” continues to circulate in popular discourse. Which
Hip Hop are we talking about? Mine empowers me to celebrate the diversity of
our collected narrative, to explore the rhythm of my community, the rhythm of my
imagination. How about yours?
— Idris Goodwin
Co-Curator, SHOUT-OUT: A Festival of Rhythm & Rhyme
Note from ACLU Director
People have sought to suppress artistic expression since the
beginning of civilization. Why? Because art is powerful. It has
the ability to inspire, to provoke, to challenge, to build, and to
deconstruct. Art is expression at its most sophisticated; that’s why
it is so important that we defend art when it comes under attack.
This inherently close relationship between free speech and art
prompted the ACLU of New Mexico to collaborate with 516 ARTS
to bring you STREET ARTS: A Celebration of Hip Hop Culture & Free Expression. With
STREET ARTS we aim to not only highlight the formidable talent of our participating
artists and performers, but also celebrate the constitutional rights that guarantee their
freedom to express their talent, creativity and ideas to fullest potential.
The ACLU would like to extend special thanks to 516 ARTS Executive Director Suzanne
Sbarge who invited us to be a part of this exciting collaboration. Exploring the
intersection of civil liberties and artistic expression has been a greatly rewarding
process. It is our hope that you will come away from STREET ARTS with a heightened
appreciation for the creative vibrancy of hip hop culture and a renewed commitment to
preserving free speech—not just for artists—but for all Americans.

the students to create iconic images of Albuquerque. While some students focused on what it means to travel within the city, others composed archetypal New Mexico forms—coyotes, the Zia symbol—for their bus panels. This
workshop was intended to be a collage workshop that melded method, meaning and material in a way that works
beyond the scrapbook experience. For these 30 bus panels, the students used a wide range of image transfer
techniques, painting and drawing to create assemblages that describe a very real, personal narrative or journey.

Dir. Benjamin Franzen & Kembrew McLeod - 2009 - 65 min The first film by renowned graffiti artist Banksy,
became the hottest ticket at the 2010 Sundance
Film Festival where it made its world debut. Banksy
is a graffiti artist with a global reputation whose
work can be seen on walls from post-hurricane
New Orleans to the separation barrier on the
Palestinian West Bank. Fiercely guarding his
anonymity to avoid prosecution, Banksy has so
far resisted all attempts to be captured on film.
Exit Through the Gift Shop tells the incredible true
story of how an eccentric French shop keeper
turned documentary maker attempted to locate
and befriend Banksy, only to have the artist turn
Banksy
the camera back on its owner – with spectacular
results. The film contains exclusive footage of Banksy, Shepard Fairey, Invader
and many of the world’s most infamous graffiti artists at work, on walls and in
interview. As Banksy describes it, “It’s basically the story of how one man set out to
Copyright Criminals examines the creative and commercial value of musical
sampling, including the related debates over artistic expression, copyright law, and
(of course) money. This documentary traces the rise of Hip Hop from the urban
streets of New York to its current status as a multibillion-dollar industry. For more
than thirty years, innovative Hip Hop performers and producers have been re-using
portions of previously recorded music in new, otherwise original compositions.
When lawyers and record companies got involved, what was once referred to as a
“borrowed melody” became a “copyright infringement.” The film showcases many
of Hip Hop music’s founding figures like Public Enemy, De La Soul, and Digital
Underground—while also featuring emerging Hip Hop artists from record labels
Definitive Jux, Rhymesayers, Ninja Tune and more. It also provides an in-depth
look at artists who have been sampled, such as Clyde Stubblefield (James Brown’s
drummer and the world’s most sampled musician), as well as commentary by another
highly sampled musician, funk legend George Clinton. As artists find ever more
inventive ways to insert old influences into new material, this documentary asks a
critical question, on behalf of an entire creative community: Can you own a sound?

Dir. Henry Chalfant and Tony Silver - 1984 - 69 min
When director Tony Silver and co-producer Henry Chalfant delivered the broadcast
version of their prize-winning film to PBS in 1983, the world received its first full
immersion in the phenomenon that had taken over New York City. The urban
landscape was physically transformed by graffiti artists who invented a new visual
language to express both their individuality, and the voice of their community.
In Style Wars, New York’s ramshackle subway system is their public playground,
battleground, and spectacular artistic canvas. Opposing them by every means
possible are Mayor Ed Koch, the police, and the New York Transit Authority.
Meanwhile, as MC’s, DJ’s and B-boys rock the city with new sounds and new moves,
we see street corner breakdance battles turn into performance art. Style Wars has
become an emblem of the original, embracing spirit of Hip Hop as it exploded into
the world from underground tunnels, uptown streets, clubs and playgrounds. New
York’s legendary kings of graffiti own a special place in the Hip Hop pantheon.
This film is regarded by many as the definitive document of the emerging Hip Hop
culture, and the continuing struggle to keep its authentic spirit alive.
In his short career, Jean-Michel Basquiat was
a phenomenon. He became notorious for his
graffiti art under the moniker Samo in the
late 1970s on the Lower East Side scene, sold
his first painting to Deborah Harry for $200,
and became best friends with Andy Warhol.
Appreciated by both the art cognoscenti
and the public, Basquiat was launched into
international stardom. However, soon his
cult status began to override the art that had
made him famous in the first place. Director
Tamra Davis pays homage to her friend in
this definitive documentary but also delves into Basquiat as an iconoclast. His dense,
bebop-influenced neoexpressionist work emerged while minimalist, conceptual art
was the fad; as a successful black artist, he was constantly confronted by racism and
misconceptions. Much can be gleaned from insider interviews and archival footage,
but it is Basquiat’s own words and work that powerfully convey the mystique and
allure of both the artist and the man. Featuring interviews with Julian Schnabel, Larry
Gagosian, Bruno Bischofberger, Tony Shafrazi, Fab 5 Freddy, Jeffrey Deitch, Glenn
O’Brien, Maripol, Kai Eric, Nicholas Taylor, Fred Hoffmann, Michael Holman, Diego
Cortez, Annina Nosei, Suzanne Mallouk, Rene Ricard, among many others.
“The kids who painted the subways of New York, turning deferred-maintenance wrecks into brilliant canvases and
infusing the faceless grid with their own identity, planted the seeds of an art movement that has inspired people
the world over to say, ‘we are here and we won’t be ignored any more.’” —Henry Chalfant, Documentarian

516 ARTS, in partnership with the ACLU-NM,
The Outpost Performance Space and Church
of Beethoven, presents SHOUT-OUT: A Festival
of Rhythm & Rhyme, featuring poetry, music,
visual art and collaborations between artists
and organizations. “In this festival, we move
forward and back in one electrifying movement.
We celebrate the passionate poetry of Amiri
Baraka, a pivotal figure in the 60s black arts
movement to which Hip Hop owes a tremendous
debt. We’ll head nod and stomp feet to the word
play of two emerging voices in the Hip Hop
generation: Amalia Ortiz, an award winning
poet whose work examines the complexities of
the Chicana experience with intelligence and
beauty; and Kevin Coval, a critically acclaimed
poet and co-founder of Louder Than A Bomb,
the world’s largest youth literacy festival. And
throughout the four days, we’ll be electrified
by the homespun lyricism of New Mexico’s own
diverse poetic voices.”
GUEST PERFORMERS INCLUDE:
AMIRI BARAKA, is the author of over 40 books of essays, poems, drama, music history
and criticism. Poet icon and revolutionary activist, he has read and lectured on cultural
and political issues extensively in the USA, the Caribbean, Africa, and Europe. Baraka is
Professor Emeritus at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, and the former
Poet Laureate of New Jersey.
KEVIN COVAL is the author of two critically acclaimed books of poetry. A regular
contributor to The Huffington Post and National Public Radio and a teacher at The School
of The Art Institute of Chicago, Kevin was featured on four seasons of Russell Simmons
Def Poetry on HBO. He is the co-founder of Louder Than A Bomb, the largest youth poetry
festival in the world.
IDRIS GOODWIN is an NEA award-winning playwright, break beat poet, essayist and
educator whose work confronts truth and absurdity within our socio-political landscape.
Goodwin’s works have enjoyed critically acclaimed premieres across the nation and he has
been featured on HBO, The Discovery Channel and National Public Radio.
AMALIA ORTIZ, Tejana actor/writer/activist, uses Hip Hop and spoken word poetics
to explore injustices and human rights. She has performed on three seasons of Russell
Simmons Presents Def Poetry on HBO and the NAACP Image Awards on FOX. She performs
in theaters, classrooms, detention and rape crisis centers across the country.
DAFNIS PRIETO is a Grammy award nominated, Cuban born drummer whose
revolutionary techniques have made a powerful impact on the international music scene.
He has received commissions, grants and fellowships from Chamber Music America and
Jazz at Lincoln Center. Since 2005, he has been a member of the NYU Music Faculty.
CECIL TAYLOR, pianist and composer, has been described as “...one of the most
revolutionary musicians of the last century. His blending of jazz and modern classical
sensibilities set both traditions on their ears and they’ve never been the same since then.
Along with Ornette Coleman and John Coltrane, Taylor helped to usher in a turning
point in the history of the music. Avant and free jazz would be unthinkable without
his innovations.” He was named as an NEA Jazz Master, and received a Guggenheim
Fellowship and a MacArthur “Genius” Award.
+ New Mexico poets and musical artists include Hakim Bellamy, Carlos Contreras, Saywut?!, Sina Soul, Tanaya Winder, DJ Cole and youth poets
from the National Hispanic Cultural Center’s Voces writing program. Biographies are included in event programs and at www.516arts.org.

Conversation with Henry Chalfant & Chaz Bojórquez
Poetry at the Margins: Graffiti, Hip Hop & the Poetic Tropes of the Streets of São Paulo
Thursday, October 28, 7:30pm
Sunday, October 3, 1pm
Chaz Bojórquez believes that true selfexpression comes from the soul. At an early
age, in the 1950s he experienced the graffiti
tradition of the East Los Angeles MexicanAmericans. Los Angeles ‘Cholo’ style graffiti
was dictated by an honored code of writing.
Allegiance to that code of traditional writing
brought you respect. He combines the
tradition and honor from Cholo gang graffiti,
the educational knowledge from art school,
and the spiritual skills of Asian calligraphy.
In 1979 he embarked on a round-the-world
experience, visiting and living in 35 countries, studying how graphics and letters
describe culture and national pride. The graffiti art that Chaz Bojórquez paints
today, ask even deeper questions of himself. “Does graffiti have intent, purpose,
cultural identity, history and create unity? Who owns the public space and who
has the right to speak and be heard?”

HENRY CHALFANT is an
acclaimed photographer and
one of the foremost authorities
on New York subway art. He has
published articles and lectured
extensively on this and other
aspects of urban youth culture.
His photographs are exhibited
in New York and major galleries
and museums in Europe and
are in the collections of the
Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh.
He has co-authored the definitive account of New York graffiti art, Subway Art
(Holt Rinehart Winston, N.Y. 1984) and a sequel on the art form’s world-wide
diffusion, Spray Can Art (Thames and Hudson Inc. London, 1987). Chalfant coproduced and did the background research and photo-documentation for the
film Style Wars, which was first shown on PBS television in 1984. His photographs
record hundreds of ephemeral, original art works that have long since vanished.
Chalfant calls himself an “unofficial archivist” of the graffiti art movement in
New York. He says “My studio was a focal point not only for graffiti writers, but
it was also a postmodern archive and museum for scholars, filmmakers, authors,
Hip Hop has become an international forum, a voice for marginalized peoples to express their discontent, a political space to
confront socio-economic disparities and discriminatory practices. The Hip Hop movement in Brazil stands in a tradition of cultural
transmutation advocated by movements such as the Movimento Antropofágico. However, unlike the Movimento Antropofágico,
Hip Hop did not emerge from the middle and upper classes of Brazilian society nor is the objective of Hip Hop to express a
homogeneous national identity. Rather, Hip Hop has materialized within and from the marginal communities of Brazilian society,
an alternative arena for the emergence of a subaltern voice. This talk will discuss recent cultural manifestations of Hip Hop culture
within the urban space of São Paulo, and the social and political aspects of this movement. Jeremy Lehnen holds a Ph.D in Latin
American Studies from UNM. He currently teaches in the UNM Department of Spanish & Portuguese. His primary area of research
is in the field of cultural studies with an emphasis on the contemporary cultural production of Brazil and Spanish America.

Local Poet #117 defines “guerrilla literature” as any process by which you enter into direct dialogue with the community. Her own work began
on the streets of Albuquerque in 1995 and ranged from drive-by-poetry and “spontaneous” performances to installations in alleys and on

telephone poles and even in the personal ads. At that time she coordinated a collective of “underground poets” who all practiced “responsible
anonymity.” She has since progressed from publishing broadsides to publishing books, even receiving a National Endowment for the Arts
Panel: Connecting the Dots Between Street Arts & Public Funding
Fellowship in Literature. In this talk, Local Poet #117 will share how a passion for community engagement fosters life-long creative expression,

even as techniques shift.
This panel discussion will explore the role that the Albuquerque Public Art Program should play in supporting streets arts activities.
LOCATION/INFO: 516 ARTS, 516 Central Ave. SW, 505-242-1445, www.516arts.org
While policies and processes severely restrict what can be funded with public dollars, there are opportunities to partner with artists
and available locations. Facilitated by Sherri Brueggemann, Public Art Urban Enhancement Program manager, guest panelists include
Chantal Foster, local street mural connoisseur, Holly Barnet-Sanchez, UNM College of Fine Arts Associate Dean and co-author of a new
book being written about the murals of East LA, Brent Ricks, Assistant City Attorney specializing in copyrights, Dan Fuller, Public Art
Collection Manager and local artists who have experienced the challenges of the mural arts in Albuquerque.

Saturday, October 23, 2pm The more provocative art becomes, the more likely it will spark a public outcry and move government officials to censor. What rights protect
our speech and artistic expression? How much freedom should artists have to publicly broadcast unpopular or controversial images and
Sherri Brueggemann
opinions? Join the discussion and learn what’s black and white about artistic freedom, and where the gray lies! The panel will be lead by Peter
Simonson, Exective Director, ACLU-NM, and panelists include Reber Boult, Co-Legal Director, ACLU-NM; Adriana Ramírez de Arellano, J.D.,
Anthropologist; and Chip Thomas, medical doctor, photographer and wheatpaste mural artist.

“Here’s the difference: gallery art can’t go in the street, but street art can go in a gallery. Gallery art is taking on
a pallor, while the art of the street is changing for the better.” — Dave Hickey, Art & Cultural Critic
