Editorial note
- A 'writer' in the context of graffiti refers to an individual who creates graffiti writings, including tags, pieces, and throw ups. This term is specific to the graffiti writing movement and is used to denote those who participate in this particular form of graffiti expression. Writers are characterised by their focus on text-based graffiti, often involving the use of stylised lettering and signatures, or 'tags'. They may also create larger and more complex works known as 'pieces', or quicker, less detailed works known as 'throw ups'. The role of a writer extends beyond the physical act of creating graffiti. Writers are also participants in the graffiti culture, using their work to communicate with their peers, mark territory, and express their individuality. They contribute to the richness and diversity of the graffiti-scape, each bringing their unique style and perspective to the medium.
