{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
predominant by male because what ended up happening was, it's a very physical art form, and there was a lot of, sort of like a territorial thing, like you know, this is my space, you know don't write on it.
[00:24:03]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
But now, like I was saying about the evolution of graph and what this art form has gone through, there is a lot of women involved, and you know---
[00:24:12]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
Speaker 2:
--Yea we've been -- its surprising to see how many more women are involved.
[00:24:16]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
We were recently in Mexico city and I think the scene there was more dominated by women then actual men; they were sort of more in control of it. -Yea.
[00:24:23]

{Unknown speaker 1}
[[inaudible question from audience]]
[00:24:38]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
Oh yes. Yeah, part of what we do in New York City, I don't know, is sort of like, --
[00:24:47]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
started for us in New York City was -- just because of the neighborhood, and the way that things are in the city, you know, a lot of people were dying at a young age.
[00:24:54]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
But what was happening, as we were painting murals, people started to
[00:24:58]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
approach us and they wanted us to do murals for people who had passed away, whether it was there brother, sister, you know,
[00:25:04]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
and in the beginning we sort of started out doing people that we knew, like we were painting a mural for ourselves,
[00:25:09]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
and if we knew of someone that had passed away, we would write, "Rest In Peace," whatever the person's name was, and that was it; sort of off in the corner.
[00:25:16]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
And it sort of developed into where people who didn't know were approaching us and say, "Listen my brother just passed away," "He was hit by a car," "He was stabbed," "He was shot."
[00:25:25]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
You know, whatever the story, each, everyone has a story. They would approach us and say, "Listen, I want you to do his portrait. I want his face. He was into baseball."
[00:25:34]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
And what would happen is, we would sit down with the friends, the family, and they would sort of describe what this person was like.
[00:25:40]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
Again, we don't know these people so they would sit down and describe to us what this person was like, how they wanted him remembered,
[00:25:45]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
and this is how we would design memorial walls, and the more of these walls we did, the more complex we did. You want to elaborate more?
[00:25:53]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
Um, I know for a fact that when we was painting --
