Abstract | This autoethnographic study contextualizes gangland visual culture (graffiti, tattoos, public/private shrines) in order to illustrate how young African American males memorialized victims of violence between the years 1993-1997 in Beltzhoover, an inner city African American community on Pittsburgh's Southside. The author, a former resident of the Beltzhoover community, describes the interactive nature of these visual phenomena with the intention of illustrating how memorial sites are created in the aftermath of personal tragedy, and how they continue to impact the public memory of Beltzhoover residents. By additionally focusing on the testimonies of mourning families, friends, and other memorializing works of art, the author discusses ways in which these visual culture environments merit pedagogy.
