** ONE YEAR DIGITAL CALLIGRAFFITI
------------------------------------------------------------

Digital Calligraffiti is celebrating its 1st anniversary this January!

Digital Calligraffiti (https://vimeo.com/204027305) was initiated to bring the voices of young refugees on urban screens through a co-creation lab.

In the time-lapse of a year the project travelled overseas from Berlin to Marseille, to Beirut, to Kachari and back and has been shown in numerous networked live performances by introducing new possibilities of reclaiming the screens and walls with the fusion of calligraffiti (http://www.calligraffiti.nl/) and media art.
