The exhibition

In the summer of 1998 at Östra Stallet in Stockholm, we set up a graffiti art exhibition, The Arrow. The exhibition gathered the world’s leading graffiti artists such as Futura, Seen, Blade, Quik, and many more, attracting about 5000 visitors over two weeks.

Beyond the walls

In addition to showcasing contemporary graffiti art, we organized live-action paintings, lectures, and debates. The exhibition was well received by the media and supported by Ungdomsstyrelsen and Kulturhuvudstadsåret 1998.
