About this audio guide
This guide to the Museum of Graffiti in Miami follows Alan Ket, who spent the 1980s slipping into Brooklyn train yards to spray subway cars before dawn. You'll hear how a photographer named Henry Chalfant, met in high school, pushed him to document the writers and risks behind the movement instead of just chasing the thrill. Decades later in Wynwood, Ket crossed paths with attorney Allison Freidin, who noticed visitors had no idea who painted the famous murals around them, or why.
