When paved over communities resist with art and color the state calls it “violence against property”. At 20, graffiti writer Sight, faced 100+ felony charges and 34-years in prison for his art. Sight was able to reduce his sentence by fighting California wildfires but since his release his wages continue to be garnished for $70,000 in restitution. Sight refuses to give up his lifelong love affair with graffiti and today he wants the world to see graffiti as “the sigils and voice of the people,” challenging a society that values property over human life.
