Introduction
Every culture has influences, cultural norms, expectations, and expressions that are
demonstrated by that group of people. The youth of Santa Fe deal with a lot of issues, and need
an outlet for their feelings. These kids have a culture of graffiti that needs to be tapped into in a
positive way.
Local Youth Culture in Santa Fe
lOMoARcPSD|62176900
The influences in the youth culture in Santa Fe are art and the desire for individuals works
to be seen. This leads to graffiti, “on trains, on walls, in places,”1 where youth want their names
and image to be seen and admired. The youth feels value when people appreciate their work.
The cultural norms are in Santa Fe include graffiti, appreciation, and respect. Graffiti is a
common art form in Santa Fe that much of the youth partakes in. “‘Part of the respect is you
don’t get painted over,’ Simpson says.”
1
Even in the graffiti, respect can still be shown. If your
work is good, explains Simpson in the article, then it does not get painted over. Other artists
admire the work.
The expectations of youth in Santa Fe are that they are in a poor community that leads to
things like drug abuse and violence. However, that is what they are trying to change with the
legal graffiti wall. “Young people are so lost and so unseen and so uncared for and so
unnourished and so unnurtured that they turn to drugs and alcohol, domestic violence,” says
Simpson.1 The youth in Santa Fe need more love and less pressure and negativity from the rest of
the community. Until expectations are changed, it is hard to expect the youth to improve.
The expressions of youth here are ones that explain the emotional baggage that they deal
with, and forms a very tight community. These feelings are expressed in the form of graffiti. “A
lot of young people are drawn to underground youth cultures, looking for an attachment to
culture, because that’s what’s been taken away from us, so we build new tribes,” explains
Simpson.2

Strategies for Relational Connects with Youth in Santa Fe
The most effective strategies for making significant relational connections with youth in
the Fort Mercy Park community are (Strategy 1, Strategy 2, possibly Strategy 3). Then write a
few sentences describing why and how you will do each one.
One effective strategies for making significant relations to the youth would be to open up
more legal graffiti walls. These walls, kept under control, are and amazing way to make the
youth feel involved and valued in the community. These walls could have a few ground rules and
regulations to make sure they don’t get out of hand. They can look up to the wall and see their
work and it can be appreciated by those in the community.
Another way to reach the youth is to have classes where the youth could improve their art
skills. This would also encourage the youth to express their feelings in positive ways. “I see you.
I care about you, and I want to hear what you have to say; you’re a part of my community, and
you’re valued in my community.”

culture, because that’s what’s been taken away from us, so we build new tribes,” explains
Simpson.2

culture, because that’s what’s been taken away from us, so we build new tribes,” explains
Simpson.2
