Editorial note
- "Memorials" in the context of graffiti can be understood in two distinct but related ways. Firstly, a memorial can be a graffito created specifically to remember or honour an individual. This is similar to a dedication, where the graffito serves as a tribute to a person, often someone who has passed away or is greatly respected within the community. Secondly, a memorial can also refer to a graffito that is actively preserved by the community in memory of a graffitist who has passed away, particularly if they died prematurely. In this case, the graffito itself becomes a symbol of remembrance, a testament to the graffitist's impact on the community and their contribution to the graffiti-scape. It's important to note that the purpose of a graffito can change over time. A work that was not initially created as a memorial may become one of the graffitist it's associated with passes away. Similarly, a memorial graffito may gain new layers of meaning as it is preserved and interacted with by the community over time.It's important to note that the purpose of a graffito can change over time.
