You step off the high street into an alley where painted panels and brick faces argue for attention: bright tags scratch at older murals, paste-ups lean into gaps. In Brixton the street is the gallery and the walls keep score — your workshop starts here, with the spray can handed to you after a brisk, neighborhood-led walk.
