Signs against violence outside Reseda High School. The social issue being depicted is how school-aged people are so commonly involved in crimes in and around the schools they attend that police have to crack down to get them to “be good” These signs are against guns, drugs, etc.
This is a picture of the space where my neighbor’s water heater was. Someone stole it in the night. The social problem depicted is the blatant disregard for personal property if it means money for the thief (or a new water heater)
A group of Hispanic men on Van Nuys. They were either pretending their car was broken down to tag or they were just wasting time while they were waiting for help to come. I saw them tag the wall right before I took the picture. It was small. The social problem being depicted is that rather than doing something constructive or even creating a more skillful “tag” they mark up people’s backyard walls. It’s harmless but tagging can make a neighborhood seem less safe which is a form of terrorism.
This is a tag on the Reseda Park bridge. It says, “RIOT ABOVE GLORY.” I’m not totally sure of the message they were trying to invoke but I think it is something about revolting and revolution. This depicts a social problem just because of the tagging and what it does to a community…not the message they wrote.
