Prague’s Graffiti History and Culture

Although graffiti has long been associated with counterculture movements, Prague’s vibrant street art scene reflects a unique blend of history, creativity, and community engagement.

From the underground graffiti boom of the 1980s, when young artists risked arrest to express their defiance against the communist regime, to the present-day authorized murals that adorn the city’s walls, Prague’s graffiti has evolved to encompass diverse styles and messages.

Today, local artists work closely with the government to create legal canvases, transforming urban spaces into outdoor galleries that celebrate the capital’s rich cultural heritage and attract visitors from around the world.

Graffiti Art Techniques

Mastering the art of graffiti requires an understanding of fundamental techniques that enable artists to bring their creative visions to life.

During the workshop, participants learn the basics of graffiti art, including sketching, filling, fading, and adding highlights and drop shadows. These techniques add depth, dimension, and vibrancy to the final mural.

Instructors guide participants through the process, ensuring they grasp essential skills like controlling spray cans, overlaying colors, and developing a cohesive composition.
