How does graffiti contribute to urban character and visual diversity in our cities? Can we reconcile issues of vandalism and private property with rights to participate in public spaces? Dr Sabina Andron will address some of the difficulties regarding community and municipal management of graffiti, and discuss ways forward through enhanced engagement.
The speaker is Dr Sabina Andron, research fellow in cities and urbanism at the University of Melbourne.

Sabina’s first monograph, Urban surfaces, graffiti, and the right to the city (Routledge 2024) was shortlisted for the Jane Jacobs Urban Communication Award. This year, Sabina received an Australian Research Council grant for the project “Visual governance in the city: rethinking graffiti and public images”.
