Neongrau is a graffiti magazine dedicated to treating writing with seriousness, both visually and intellectually. With a strong focus on trainwriting, it combines striking photography with thoughtful editorial content that reflects on the contemporary graffiti scene.
In contrast to the fleeting and oversaturated imagery of the internet, Neongrau offers permanence, context, and selection. Its clean design and structured layout keep the pieces themselves at the forefront, while each issue includes essays, stories, and critical texts that explore graffiti as a cultural and linguistic phenomenon.
This issue features two Writer Specials on RBOY / OVER and DIOT & KIFS, alongside new editorial and conceptual explorations.
Articles include:
Requiem for a Zine? — on the changing landscape of graffiti publishing
Lumbago — a story from within the scene
RAIT: The Principle of the Series — on conceptual approaches in graffiti
Legal Column: “Kölner Totentanz” — on legal debates in Cologne
Knowledge is King: Stadtbahnen Deutschland — exploring German suburban trains
