Editorial note

  • The term 'first row' in the context of graffiti refers to the area of a wall that is easily accessible from ground level. This portion of the wall is typically the most convenient for graffitists to reach without the aid of ladders, scaffolding, or other equipment. Given its accessibility, the first row often becomes a prime location for graffiti placement. However, due to its ease of reach, it is also an area that frequently gets covered or overlaid with new graffiti. This constant layering and overwriting reflect the dynamic and transient nature of graffiti culture, where visibility and space are often contested. Despite the ephemeral nature of the works placed in the first row, this area plays a significant role within the graffiti landscape. It serves as a canvas for graffitists to express their creativity, communicate with their peers, and engage with the wider public.
