Abstract

Excerpt - In this essay, we briefly examine Pensacola, Florida’s Graffiti Bridge. After providing a history of the bridge, we detail the “legality” of graffiti use on the bridge, and then review the various types of graffiti that go on the bridge as well as its use as a public gathering place. This case study is significant to geography as it highlights how urban spaces can serve as dynamic sites of cultural expression and interaction, offering insights into the ways communities negotiate and claim space.
