Influences of graffiti and your origin

Influences:
The graffiti dates back to prehistory and the ancient Romans' demonstrations
made on the walls as a form of protest. With the evolution of painting techniques
in the Middle Ages, churches began to use these practices in frescoes, a painting
technique done on the walls and ceiling of churches.

Origin
There are examples of interventions made in public places already at the time of
the Roman Empire. In contemporary times, this artistic manifestation is mainly
related to hip-hop, a cultural movement that began in the early 1970s in the USA by
Latino, Afro-American and Jamaican communities.
