| 0:32.1 | From what I understand, the laws against people making art in the streets or marking the streets or writing in the |
| 0:39.7 | streets is relatively new. When we go back to Pompeii and obviously all of the ruins being |
| 0:46.1 | beautifully preserved, which is amazing, walls are covered with graffiti. And so I think that |
| 0:52.4 | we're in a society that wants everyone to behave a certain |
| 0:56.3 | way and do a certain thing and fit in. And part of that is to not express yourself on any |
| 1:02.7 | surfaces. And we take the rules that are part of society and we assimilate them and we take them |
| 1:08.9 | as that's the way that things are. But if we had we all |

| 1:18.9 | strangely. I think then if someone said to you, well, what if graffiti was illegal, then you'd be |
| 1:24.3 | like, oh, that would be weird, wouldn't it? Because that would be the norm that you grew up in. |
| 1:32.0 | I'm Sreeny Rao, and this is the Unmistakable Creative Podcast, where you get a window into the |
| 1:36.8 | stories and insights of the most innovative and creative minds who started movements, |
