Issue 2 of Graff It! dives headfirst into the political and poetic layers of urban expression. With a central dossier on Urban Activism, this issue spotlights how graffiti and street art are more than style—they’re statements. From Epsilon Point’s reflections to Miss Tic’s sharp stencils and a flashback to the streets of the 1980s, the opening pages blend memory, rebellion, and artistic tension. A feature on the "pixel war" at Fine Tags Gallery and an interview with Space Invader & Yves Yacoël remind us how subversion can take many forms.
Graphik Styles zooms in on the work of LKSIR and Akon, with a striking visual portfolio where characters, sketches, light, and shadow collide. The Paris section brings raw textures with throw-ups, silver burners, and nighttime missions, while the United Colors spreads stretch across the capital’s walls and rails.
Beyond Paris, the journey continues through Nantes and the Nord-Pas-de-Calais, capturing burners, trains, and evolving regional styles. The Worldwide section highlights the GTS Crew and legendary figures like Daze and Crash, expanding the conversation to a global scale.
On the music side, there’s no fluff—just impact. A not-quite-interview with TTC, gritty club floor reports, and dense Chronics serve as a reminder of how deeply connected sound and street visuals are. Between urban science (CNRS feature), circus culture (Macircus), and the ever-growing news section, Graff It! #2 stands as a loud, playful, and critical archive of what was shaking in the early 2000s.
