Using a variety of drama and visual arts programmes, young
people from many areas of Dublin City will work with
professional artists and writers to explore the question
‘Graffiti – Art or Vandalism?’. This programme of activities,
presented by Dublin City Public Libraries, is aimed at educating
children, whilst encouraging them to comment creatively on the
social conditions in which they find themselves. Seventeen
libraries will participate in this ambitious public programme
throughout the Autumn / Winter of 2011 and Spring 2012, using a
broad range of learning strategies to deliver this very
important message. Film maker Killian Waters will document the
project on behalf of Dublin City Public Libraries. - A specially
