Queen Andrea the legend! As a New Yorker raised in downtown Manhattan, she was deeply inspired by urban landscapes from an early age. Andrea is part of a newer generation of early 1990s graffiti writers and she befriended some of the most prolific old-school writers, working consistently to develop her own unique style.

Now QA’s work graces the walls of downtown Trenton! Have you seen her mural on E. State Street?

“Wild Style” Film Screening & Q&A with Charlie Ahearn

- Friday, August 14, 7-9
- Mercer County Community College Kerney: Hall, 102 N Broad St, Trenton, NJ

Join the American Graffiti Museum, in collaboration with Jersey Fresh Jam, PRT Day, and the NJEDA for a special screening of the cult classic film “Wild Style” followed by a Q&A with Charlie Ahearn.

Wild Style captured New York City’s emerging graffiti and hip hop culture through the artists, writers, DJs, MCs, and dancers who were creating it. More than four decades after its release, the film remains an important record of a pivotal moment in the culture’s history.

Following the screening, filmmaker Charlie Ahearn will participate in a live Q&A discussing the making of the film and the stories behind its creation.

Free and open to the public!

Presented by The American Graffiti Museum. Supported by funding through the NJEDA’s A.R.T. - Phase II Grant Program.
