Human communication js constantly drowned heneath the deafening racket of an inhuman and insane corporate capitalise system. Behind every advertsement—a baton; behind every “new and improved? product—a canister of wear gus; behind every TV show-—a tank; Behind every newspaper—a prison cell, and bichind every texebooke—a graveyard. The classcoom,the chat 100m, the bedroom, the church, the psychiatrist's couch, the cash register, the answering machine, the offic the bas, che jall—these are all spaces in which we are confronted wich ove incapacity co speak But perhaps the most glaring expresion of our voiceless iin the strats More and more the sereets of our cities speak in the ‘monolithic, inhuman brutality of the suburbs. People bustle about like ants confined within mass-produced, lifeless and drab metal boxes amongst_mass-produced, lifeless and drab buildings. We rarely even have the opportunity 0 pretend to acknowledge one another with our robotic Kies of “how are you doing?” and “precty well” ‘The street spel the language of money, an so our official options are either so speah this language as well, or slut our fucking mouths Graf isameans to begin speaking, and co begin liberating space for human use, By writing and creating art on privately-owned buildings, tie MAUS evant noo we give birth to a human language that cannot be owned or exploited for profit. Graft is criminalized because ‘the graffiti artist and the capytalist eannot both be heard at the same time. Graffiti speaks from the darkness where there are no witnesses, and yet it ie nothing if not visible, Grafii vocalizes all ff the thoughts and images locked inside our hheares and minds by an inearcerated sociery. Grafici makes coherent our frantic urges to struggle ageinst the strangulation of our everyday lives. The brilliance of graffi is not so much in the specifie words or Images, or in how many people see them for how long, but more in the process ‘of people coming together, relearning ‘what they want to say and saying it. ‘The crew of grafith atises must each love life—and each ‘other—enough to help keep fone another out of jail, They must leaen tobe close enough to communicate clearly: ip whispers, in just afew seconds, and in code, And so our speaking takes many forms, from the passionate shouts on the wall to the geatle reassurances we share when we have successflly acted and evaded the grasp ofthe police.

We will continue to take back our streets; and we encourage you todo the same with yours. We will be watching over you, gaining inspiration from your poetry ‘upon the walls, and kissing you ever so gently upon your head—finding hope within each other to stay afloat inthis sea of hopelessness. Lest we forget, amidst the everinetessing motorization, militarization, privatization, and sterilization of our spaces, the walls are alive! 4 ‘The images in this pamphlet are from Palestine, Northern Ireland, Australia, Canada, England, tal, and the States.
