Who is TxT?
TxT is a mysterious graffiti writer and multidisciplinary artist who operates under a shroud of anonymity, enabling him to challenge the conventions of urban art through unauthorized practices. Primarily self-taught, his calligraphic work is deeply inspired by traditional artworks, which he studies and meticulously replicates. Through his innovative techniques, TxT invites audiences to explore the complex intersections of identity, culture, and artistic expression.
This event is free and open to the public, with no prior registration required.
The event is part of the ERC Starting Grant project “Write – New Forms of Calligraphy in China: A Contemporary Culture Mirror” (GA no. 949645).
