I made a quick overnight trip to Poznan, Poland, this past week at the invitation of Lukasz Niparko, a recent SLU alum. He and I (and others) will be contributing to Weaving the Streets, a new blog on SLU’s The Weave: Mediocracy Unspun. Part of Weaving the Streets will include photo-documentation of street art from around the world—a people’s archive, as we are calling it. Poznan doesn’t have very many stickers, we learned, but has a bunch of wheatpastes and stencils. Here is a wheatpaste that shows how to make stencils.

While doing the survey of street art in my city Poznań together with Cathy Tedford for the Weave’s newest initiative “ weaving the streets ” we were lucky to meet next to the newest Poznań squat “Odzysk” a Turkish traveler Betül. She told us that although being miles away from home, she cannot sit silent. She printed bunch of posters and hanged them around Poznań, telling the message to us: “Dear Citizens of the world” look at Turkey!
