Editorial note

  • "Stickers" in the context of street art refer to a specific type of graffito that is created using adhesive labels or stickers. The graffitist applies their design onto the sticker, which is then affixed to a surface, resulting in a graffito. This technique allows for the rapid and portable application of an image or message, making it a popular method for creating graffiti, particularly in the realm of street art. The use of stickers in graffiti is a relatively recent development, gaining popularity in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Sticker graffiti, also known as "sticker bombing", "sticker slapping", "sticker tagging", or "slap tagging", is often associated with political and social commentary, as the technique allows for the quick dissemination of powerful and provocative imagery and messages.
