Another way to consider the aesthetics of the neoindigenous is to create a graffiti wall in the classroom. This is a place where youth are allowed to write and draw freely on the wall. In classes where this has worked best, the teacher identifies a wall and paints it with blackboard paint. Youth are then allowed to use chalk with different colors to create murals, draw, write their nicknames or “tags,” and exchange messages with one another. Allowing for this space in classrooms not only makes the class more attractive, but serves as a therapeutic space for students.
