The images and memories of countless graffiti artists dance with the poems of eight dancers at the labyrinthian Graffiti Pier of Philadelphia. The abandoned Conrail pier, originally used as a coal loading dock until the late 70s, serves as the stage, scenery, and container for this dance while the stages remain closed to the public.
