Editorial note

  • "Crossing out" in the context of graffiti refers to the act of a graffitist deliberately painting or marking over the work of another graffitist. This act is often seen as a form of disrespect or challenge within the graffiti community, as it involves defacing or obscuring someone else's work. The motivations behind crossing out can vary. It may be done as a form of rivalry or competition, to claim territory, or to express disagreement or disapproval with the crossed-out work or the graffitist who created it. It can also be a way of drawing attention to oneself, as crossing out a well-known or respected graffito can be a provocative act that generates discussion and controversy.
