The 517 Theory blog is a living archive of graffiti art in the Greater Lansing area.
Each photograph lists the location of the piece, the date it was documented, and whether or not the piece had been observed previous to documentation.
This blog is just one part of a larger project dedicated to exploring the rhetorics of graffiti. To learn more about the 517 Theory Project, click here.
