Field Visit (17 May 2018)
A series of painted street art and graffiti pieces are visible in the shelters on the west side of Union Terrace Gardens. Many of the pieces are dedicated to Smoke, a well-respected graffiti writer who passed away in 2015. The art was created in 2016 as part of an event called Release the Pressure.
