    Cornbread Lives

    In October 2024, we’re walking around the Philadelphia Zoo with Daryl “Cornbread” McCray, the world’s first modern day graffiti writer. It’s the first time he’s been back since he famously graffitied an elephant in 1971. This act, along with tagging the Jackson 5 jet, skyrocketed his career and helped spark the modern-day graffiti movement. We talk about how his rough childhood growing up in Brewerytown led him to graffiti writing, how he got the name Cornbread, and what it really takes to become a legend.

We’ll talk about his battle with mental health, where the 9 in his name comes from, and the importance of community.

    Introducing a New Season of Art Outside with Conrad Benner

    We’re back with Season 2 of Art Outside, a podcast from WHYY about the art of our public spaces and the people who create it. We’re taking you around Philly to learn about all kinds of art outside. From commissioned works in Love Park and the 9th Street Market. To more ephemeral works like wheatpasting on a shuttered UArts building. As multiple art institutions around the city close, the state of Philly’s famed arts world feels particularly fragile. On this season of Art Outside we’re thinking about where Philly goes from here as we explore this dynamic world.

    Trailer: Art Outside

    Why do we create on the walls around us? From French cave paintings created some 17,000 years ago to political graffiti on the streets of Pompeii, humanity has always longed to make art for everyone to see. Whether commissioned or not, the art we share is essential to who we are. There’s no better place to see this in practice than in Philadelphia. It’s the birthplace of the modern-day graffiti movement, home to the largest public arts program in the nation, and is often called the “Mural Capital of the World.” Join host Conrad Benner, founder of the Streets Dept blog, as he speaks with some of the most prolific street artists in the city about why their work is so vital to their lives, and ours.
