Editorial note

  • "Paste-ups" in graffiti refer to creations that are prepared in private and quickly applied in public spaces. They are drawn, applied, or printed onto material that has an adhesive backing. This allows the graffitist to create intricate designs or messages in a controlled environment and then rapidly deploy them in the public sphere. This technique is often used for larger pieces that would be time-consuming to create directly on the surface in a public space. The use of paste-ups broadens the range of possible locations for graffiti, as they can be applied to surfaces that might not be conducive to traditional spray paint graffiti.
