8 artists, 8 cities, 8 directors

“Défense d’afficher” ("Post no bills") is said in all languages. However, in every country, graffiti and street artists defy this ban. What do they have to say that is so important? What is the true meaning of their gesture?

At the end of a virtual journey, the web documentary “Défense d’afficher” invites Internet users to discover what street art tells us about cities and today’s world.
