Gabi brought the DVD documentary "Style Wars", which shows tagging and wall art in New York City.  Kids at the PYFC watched intermittently while working on a hip hop Christmas song.  She was able to engage a few kids in a conversation about expressing their voice on a permitted surface such as our plans for the mural in contrast to spray painting on subway trains.  Yolanda and Oscar were interested in emphasizing expression in lawful channels, and plan to show the documentary again. 

Approximately 10 to 15 kids have signed up for the mural class and hip hop song we are facilitating.
