Abstract
- Reading the writing on the walls concerning the COVID-19 pandemic reveals a graffiti community that can best be described as diverse in terms of its members' sentiments, with heavy leanings toward conspiratorial perspectives as well as public health preoccupations. Both from the perspective of having spent most of my life as a member of the graffiti community, as well as having written about graffiti and graffiti writers from a scholarly perspective, I have arrived at the conclusion that my community is impossible to categorize, notwithstanding my rather radically conservative definition of what actually constitutes graffiti ([1]; see also [5] for a more inclusive perspective on what constitutes graffiti). Graffiti depicting and referencing the COVID-19 pandemic is no-less representative of all forms of graffiti writing, as well as of those who take to the walls to express themselves artistically, egotistically, politically, and transgressively.
