Editorial note
- Gender signs, as motifs within the realm of graffiti, refer to symbols or signs that represent gender identities. These signs can appear as standalone motifs on a surface, or they may be incorporated into a larger composition, often in conjunction with text, messages, or slogans. The use of gender signs in graffiti serves various purposes. They can be used to express the graffitist's own gender identity, comment on societal norms and expectations related to gender, or convey a specific message or statement about gender issues. The interpretation of these signs can depend on their context within the graffiti, as well as the cultural and societal norms of the viewer. Despite their simplicity, gender signs can be powerful symbols within the graffiti landscape. They offer a means for graffitists to engage with complex issues of identity and society, and to communicate these ideas to a broad audience.
