Abstract

Aborigines

Attitudes

Girls

Graffiti

Sociological aspects

Asked a group of boys and a group of girls about what graffiti meant to them and whether they participated in its production. From a school chosen because its constituency included a high proportion of working-class and Aboriginal children; the assumption was that graffiti holds a special meaning for working-class kids as an art form of the dispossessed. It gives expression to their lives in a way that 'legitimate' communication codes do not.
