Graffiti legends MIKE 171 and SJK 171 from New York City visited Latvia in 2025, teaming up with Grandpa for a collaboration piece at the street art festival "ROW 2025". It was the first time both pioneers had traveled so far into Europe - and certainly not the last. Rumour has it, they’ll return soon, as Grandpa is already plotting a street art jam of his own.

The guys had a seriously good time for a week, and the whole process was filmed — you can find the video on Grandpa’s IG @kiwie. Make sure to hit follow for both gentlemen, MIKE171 and SJK171. If you’re a street artist and find yourself in New York, don’t hesitate to get in touch with Mike - he’ll gladly welcome you to his private rooftop graffiti gallery, which he calls the “Rooftop Grafiteria,” where you can paint and leave your mark.
