Graffiti Battle Crown
Tijuana, Mexico - October 12-20, 1996

Graffiti artists from both sides of the border united in a friendly competition for the crown. Artists and crews painted on permanent walls throughout Tijuana, Mexico. The Department of Culture in Tijuana helped organize the event and arrange for the wallspace. The project was very much a success, and we hope to see more cities in Mexico open their walls to public art as a result. The artists were furnished with paint and housing, but they painted all the murals free of charge.

This event was organized thanks to Man One & Fuska and MarÍa Isabel Juárez, Dept. of Culture, Tijuana
