Bearbeitungshinweis

  • "Graffiti symbols" is a class of graffiti that encompasses a wide range of symbols, signs, or motifs. These elements can stand alone or be incorporated into larger works, and they often convey universally recognised messages or ideas. Examples of graffiti symbols include the anarchy sign, smiley faces, stars, hearts, and even controversial symbols like the swastika. The use of symbols in graffiti serves various purposes. For some graffitists, these symbols are a form of visual shorthand, allowing them to quickly and efficiently communicate specific ideas or sentiments. For others, the use of universally recognised symbols can be a way to engage a broader audience, as these symbols can be understood by individuals who may not be familiar with the more nuanced aspects of graffiti culture.
