Signal Project

Stanwell, United Kingdom

The project took place in a community with various problems such as graffiti vandalism, and many residents having to leave their homes due to the panned demolition of the tin houses in the area, which were built during the war for temporary accommodation. There were many activities around the project and the final piece was a series of murals that were made by various graffiti artists and the young people within the society inspired by the memories of the citizens living in the area. The project included workshops and diversionary activities. Consequently, the project managed to knit the community together as it combined kids in the primary school, adolescents, middle-aged people to the elderly. It reduced the graffiti vandalism, helped bring more funding for the community, helped the older generations to let go off the past yet hold on to their memories. This and other murals that were done in the area helped the young people in the society to use their creativity in a constructive way and reduced tagging. Signal Project was founded in 2002 and has sustained a reputation for delivering ambitious, community-orientated, large-scale coordinated graffiti murals. First commissioned community mural was over ¼ km long in South London, giving the opportunity to work with young people from various youth organisations in the area, and over 20 major International graffiti artists. In 2004, and as a result of major lobbying work for legal public murals, Signal was funded to create the Kilburn Tube Mural Project– a visual and political achievement that clearly illustrates how the work of graffiti artists can be welcomed into the fabric of the local community. Voted as London’s Best Mural (Time Out, Issue 1872, 2006), the Kilburn Project elevated the work from the cool kudos of graffiti art to high quality mainstream public art. Signal has managed numerous mural projects and one off workshops across greater London. The initial focus on public murals involving excluded young people rapidly expanded in 2004, as it started to deliver to various organisations from corporate team building days to Scout groups. By approaching each situation with an open mind and flexible approach, the team has successfully worked with a wide range of communities. The culmination of delivery capabilities came in 2008/9 with the Stanwell Project. Signal was commissioned to design a mural project to engage a whole community, from ages 5 to 95. The 60m mural provided a central point for intergenerational storytelling, digital video workshops, plus drawing, painting and collage activities. Published on-line, as a book and a video documentary, the project has become a part of the area’s history. 2009 has seen Signal branch into education curriculum development, working in partnership with education consultants Beyond Knowledge Ltd. Although the project has been Arts Award accredited since 2006, it's long believed the dedicated work young people put into projects should translate into GCSE level accreditation. The project's general aim is to extend the creative repertoire and breadth of project delivery, and to continue to create artwork in the public domain that is of a world class standard. ...Read more

HALT Project

RioSanJuan, Netherlands

HALT project in the Netherlands focuses on dealing with those aged between 12 and 18 years who come in contact with the police for the first or second time. It is intended primarily for offences such as vandalism, graffiti, shoplifting and illegal use of fireworks. Juveniles, who have been apprehended by the police, have a choice between the cr iminal justice system and the Halt program. If they decide to take the Halt program they can right their wrongs whilst avoiding contact with criminal justice authorities. The program arranges punishments that can include repair of the damage or removal of the graffiti. In the Netherlands, the age of criminal responsibility begins at 12 years. Only the police can refer a young person to HALT. Most are first time offenders engaged in shoplifting (25%) criminal damage (20%), illegal use of fireworks (20%) and other crimes against property (15%). Those referred for incidents involving graffiti were said to have increased over recent months. When referred to HALT, the young person between 12 and 18 years must comply with the arrangements or be prosecuted for the offence. HALT provides an immediate response to the incident and confronts the young person with the consequences of their behaviour and makes them responsible for it. The sanctions are felt directly and immediately by the young person through time and labour and a fine for cost of the incident. But the young person does not acquire a criminal record. The basic principle of HALT is to change the young person's behaviour and stop them from offending in the future.HALT began in Rotterdam in 1981, primarily to tackle vandalism. HALT has now widened its objectives from the prevention of vandalism to other areas of criminal and anti-social behaviour committed by young people. The success in Rotterdam encouraged the development of HALT Bureau in other cities and towns. HALT has contributed to an evolution of the system, from punishment and detention towards a combination of work-related tasks and educational programmes for crime prevention; It has contributed to a partnership approach to juvenile offending, involving the victims, parents, police, school and the wider community; The intervention, including referral, interviews, work placement and educational sessions, to closing of the case, normally take about two or three months. This is two or three times faster and more efficient than any other intervention; and HALT relieves pressure on the local juvenile penal system. ...Read more

Open Gallery - Fanzara

Valencia, Spain

The village of Fanzara, home to 323 people, counts two bars, one butcher and a shop. But over the past year, this small village 50 miles north of Valencia has quietly transformed itself into the street art capital of Spain, with more than 40 murals by some of the country’s top street artists tucked among its beige and grey walls. Javier López, one of those behind the citizen-led transformation, said: “We’ve converted the village into a huge open-air gallery. We thought that putting together a muse um like this would be impossible – but we’re doing it.” A lifelong fan of art, López, 48, launched MIAU, the Unfinished Museum of Urban Art, with his friend Rafa Gascó, 50, last summer. He said: “We wanted to build a museum where anyone who wanted to create art in our village could come and do it.” There’s just one condition: the artists must involve the residents of Fanzara in the creative process in some way. Suggested examples include workshops or talking through ideas with residents. The project’s first challenge was winning the backing of the villagers – many of whom are in their 70s and 80s – and convincing them of the merits of handing over wall space to visiting street artists. “It was tough to make people understand what we wanted to do – most older people don’t know much about street art,” he said. “Eventually they told us, even though we don’t like it, you can go ahead.” "Their trust was surprising, given that nobody was quite sure what would come out of the project" stated López. The project began timidly, inviting 15 of Spain’s leading street artists to spend four days in the village last September and paint one mural in exchange for room and board. He said: “When people came, they slept at our house. The food, we cooked it ourselves. It was that kind of budget event.” The artists were shown where they could paint, but no limits were put on the content of their art. Instead organisers took a leap of faith, simply asking them to keep in mind the people who would see the art everyday. “It’s a small village, made up mostly of senior citizens,” López added. As the weekend got underway, the residents of the village became more interested, with many of them excitedly flagging down the artists and asking them to paint murals on the facade of their houses. The number of works in the village soon swelled to 44. For many in Fanzara, the project was a crash course in street art, something that they had never seen before. López said: “It’s amazing to see a street artist painting a mural while a group of grandparents stand around, asking him questions about what he’s painting and why.” The museum came into existence just as villagers were emerging from a bitter debate over a proposal to build a toxic waste incinerator in the village, said the mayor, Roberto Salisa Castillo. The proposal divided Fanzara, with some arguing that it was a necessity in order for it to buck the trend of Spain’s dying villages. After the proposal was defeated, the museum was a low-risk way to help foster peace in the village. He said: “If it didn’t work out we figured we could just paint over the murals with white paint.” However, he added, its unexpected success has put Fanzara on the map, attracting the curiosity of neighbouring universities while a growing number of people stop by to see the murals. Best of all, the residents – who were initially wary of the idea – have embraced it, said Salisa Castillo. “Neighbours who didn’t know anything about street art now will tell you all about graffiti.” Those behind the museum say this is just the beginning. The project, which includes a monthly roster of events, has been expanded to include other art forms, be they theatre, performance art or music, while the village is gearing up to host another group of street artists in July. With enthusiasm for the project far outstripping wall space, murals will be painted over regularly, said López, once residents deem that the artwork has run its course. He added: “That’s why it’s called the unfinished museum, because its always going to be in constant evolution. It’s a museum that echoes the story of our village.” ...Read more

Operation Tag

It was agreed that not only was it important to enforce the law but also to raise public awareness of the costs involved ...Read more

Bristol Graffiti Partnership

Bristol, United Kingdom

Since the end of 2003 graffiti has been on the increase across Bristol. It was recognised that a multi-agency approach was needed to tackle the problem and the graffiti partnership was set up in early 2004.

The project involved identifying hotspot areas, monitoring and mapping prolific tags and increasing re ...Read more

Newcastle and Gateshead Graffiti Forum

Newcastle Upon Tyne, United Kingdom

The Graffiti Forum was established in 2000, in response to a marked rise in various forms of graffiti. Membership of the forum now includes representatives from the councils, neighbourhood services and regeneration directorates, Northumbria Police, Nexus and other major transport operators such as Stagecoach, Telewest, Network Rail, Northumbria Probation Service, and Northumbria University.Taking a wide view of the issues behind the problems and using a range of solutions has always been the thinki ng behind the group. In the first 18 months, work focused on the traditional practices of enforcement, removal, education and prevention. It quickly became clear that this was not enough and an understanding of the root causes was required.Forum members commissioned Northumbria University to ‘explore solutions to graffiti in Newcastle upon Tyne’, which became the title of the report, resulting from seven months of in-depth research across the UK and Europe. Locally, the research team consulted over 40 local graffiti writers, 24 local Graffiti Forum members and local workers, and around 200 members of the public.As a community survey, Participatory Appraisal (PA) is used which is a community-based approach to consultation that prioritises the views of local people, and their involvement and action in deciding what happens in their community. PA uses visual and flexible tools such as maps, spider diagrams and charts to ensure that everyone can participate, regardless of their background.200 graffiti removal packs have been made available, free of charge, to loan by the public and 26 ‘Rapid Response’ operatives are on call to remove small quantities from various property and surface types at very short notice.The cabinet agreed to a limited trial of an outdoor site, in conjunction with the development of a city skatepark. Work continues to identify and establish more permanent sites with the right profile for the writers, local residents and the authorities to agree upon, and further interest has developed in intergenerational projects. One of the park’s user groups is particularly keen to develop painted areas within the park as a way of brightening the place up and demonstrating an inclusive approach to managing the site.Although reported levels of graffiti seem not to drop significantly, this was due to increased reporting of incidents and intelligence from the front line services and service users. Through the development of increased performance measures and response times, more graffiti is removed and done so quicker, as the Council has increased teams from two to five and removed 64,000m2 of graffiti last year. The council’s response to racist and obscene graffiti is usually well within the two day local target – often within hours. ...Read more
