# Graffiti Wars: Banksy vs. Robbo

Ha, right after I posted about [Banks’s upcoming Antics Roadshow](/banksy-antics-roadshow/) I spotted another hot program tip for this weekend:

*Graffiti Wars* is an urban art documentary examining street art and graffiti, and the creative tensions and conflicts within this artistic arena. It’s the story of the ongoing [Banksy vs. **Robbo** battle](/graffiti-vs-street-art/)...Just remember the [*RIP Street Art*](/rip-street-art-robbo-exhibition/) exhibition Robbo did last year...

> At street level a bitter war is being waged between graffiti writers, street artists and the authorities. While graffiti writers face trial and prison sentences for their art, some street artists' work is lauded and protected behind Perspex.

This seems to be quite interesting and worth to watch! As Channel4 announced this documentary will also be online as soon as possible after broadcast...
